We are starting to plan for our fall KMWorld 2009 conference in San Jose. And yes, we are repositioning the conference slightly. You will note that Intranets is no longer in the conference logo. However intranets and portals are still strong themes, as are enterprise 2.0, knowledge sharing, innovation, and streamlining knowledge flows in organizations for maximum effectiveness and performance. The conference continues to include strong conferences on enterprise search and taxonomies with Enterprise Search Summit West and Taxonomy Boot Camp.
The KM World website is now live and we are looking for speakers. Please let all your colleagues know about our call for speakers and encourage them to come and speak. Feel free to post a note to any KM lists to which you belong. Thanks!

Jane,
I am the Director of Knowledge Management for Symantec and recently came across the resources provided by KM World. I am interested in presenting case study and best practices details to the attendees at KMWorld 2009. We have integrated a community model into our internal knowledge capture and sharing processes, and have implemented new measurement systems that assess value of knowledge contributions. We are seeing some amazing success and I have spoken to industry leaders at two conferences recently about how it can be applied in most any industry.
I am unable to access the call for speakers application and can’t find any contact information that will allow me to discuss this with you. Please advise on how I may reach you!
Great to hear from you, Robert. We are always looking for practitioners and great stories about KM. We are very close to finalizing the program for KMW09 (our call for speakers closed in April) but you can email me at jane (at) dysartjones.com. Thanks for your interest!
