The Gilbane Conference on Content Technologies for Government:
A Conference for Business & Technical Managers in Cooperation with CMS Watch
The Ronald Reagan Building
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue,
Washington, D.C., 20004
June 13-15, 2006

Worldwide, the volume of digital content doubles every 3 years. The ubiquitous management difficulties this presents have become particularly acute for the federal government. Federal websites, file systems, and e-mail repositories are bulging with content at a time when managers face unprecedented demands to share information across agencies and with business and citizens. Meanwhile, government agencies are paying greater attention to the longstanding challenges of archiving digital content and managing digital records.

It is a propitious time to solve these problems. Content technologies for managing documents, web-based information, and records have grown in utility and sophistication. New technologies can enable searchers to find and retrieve information on a scale unheard of just 5 years ago. In the meantime, emerging standards in industry and government are supporting greater content exchange and systems interoperability.

More importantly, a generation of federal managers has earned hard experience winning support and adoption for content technologies. They have learned that it takes much more than technology to effectively manage content.

The Gilbane Conference on Content Technologies for Government will be chaired by Tony Byrne, founder of CMS Watch (www.cmswatch.com). CMS Watch is an authoritative, vendor-neutral source for information and analysis about content management and search technologies and best practices.

Please join government and industry leaders sharing best practices and the latest techniques in managing enterprise content in the federal context.
