Live From The Gilbane Conference on Content Technologies Boston

Today I’m attending the Gilbane Conference on Content Technologies Boston. As far as conferences go, this annual event dwarfs all others in the space. It’s larger, better organized, and frankly, focused on the really important content issues facing business today. There’s no over-reliance on trendy topics like DITA. And there’s not a lot of educator-focused topics that bore most folks to death. Instead, it’s a practical, hands-on, industry event—and a networking extravaganza. Lots of business deals are struck here, especially in the Technology Showcase, a “Who’s Who” of software and service providers in the content industry.

This morning I’ll be taking snapshots, interviewing gurus, and attending a few select sessions. Over the next few days I’ll be working in the Content Management Professionals booth, judging the Wiki Idol competition, and moderating the closing session of the three-day event. I’ll keep you posted!
