and E-Libraries, feature a powerful, comprehensive
agenda that is guaranteed to stimulate your thinking and energize
your professional development. |

of the conferences is a unique, focused event, but programs
are planned to encourage attendees to leverage interrelationships
and learn from others with related interests. A Gold Pass
allows you to explore all the sessions in any of the three-day
conferences, and create a customized conference schedule that
especially meets your needs and interests. Or you can purchase
a Platinum Pass and attend up to four in-depth pre and post-conference
workshops in addition to the three conferences. |
| New
for 2003 is a special Content Management Symposium
offered on Thursday afternoon as part of all three conferences.
Recognizing the growing importance that organizations are
placing on content management initiatives and the opportunities
in this arena for information professionals, this cross-conference
forum provides an in-depth, intensive briefing on CM software,
tools, technology, and strategies. The keynote and breakout
sessions feature well-known experts as speakers, and will
equip information professionals with the necessary fundamentals
to become players in content management projects. |
