Event Explores Web Content Management Technologies and Their Impact  
on the Way We Work

The Fall 2007 CM Pros Summit, takes place November 26, 2007 (in  
conjunction with the 4th Annual Gilbane Conference on Content  
Technologies Boston) at the Westin Copley Place. Early bird  
registrants save $100 on registration by September 30, 2007.

OVERVIEW
*********************
Recent advances in content management tools – including Semantic Web  
technologies—are creating dramatic changes to the way organizations  
and their staffers work. Web content management software has made it  
possible for organizations to increase workplace efficiency through  
collaboration, eliminate unnecessary waste through automation, lower  
cost of production through process improvements and workflow routing,  
and, perhaps most importantly, make possible the delivery of relevant  
content with pinpoint accuracy, increasingly, on demand. When  
localization and translation enter the equation, these benefits grow  
exponentially.

Where can organizations find the knowledge needed to take advantage  
of these powerful, paradigm-shifting technologies? The CM Pros Fall  
2007 Summit is an excellent starting place. The event will focus on  
the importance of web content management and the technologies that  
are quickly turning the web into a platform for the development of  
business solutions and information services. The Summit will feature  
presentations, workshops, and roundtable discussions aimed at helping  
to demystify web content management strategies, tools, standards, and  
technologies.

The event is divided into three tracks -- attendees can mix and match  
sessions from each track, or attend sessions in just one track.  
Tracks include:

* Web 2.0
* Web Strategy
* Web Technology
