“Content Management and the World Enterprise” Is Theme of November 2006 
CM Professionals Boston Summit

Silver Spring, MD -- Content Management Professionals (CM Pros), the 
international content management community of practice, announced the 
theme of its sixth Summit: Content Management and the World Enterprise. 
The full-day event takes place Monday 27 November 2006, co-located with 
the Gilbane Conference on Content Technologies at the Westin Copley 
Place hotel in Boston, MA, USA.

“As information technology advances, there is a huge need for 
organizations to understand how to organize, manage and integrate 
content into enterprise applications,” says Frank Gilbane, President & 
CEO of Gilbane Group, Inc. (www.gilbane.com). “The only way this need 
can be met is through well-informed content management professionals, 
sharing their experiences and expertise. This is why CM Pros is so 
important, why the summits are so valuable, and why we are happy to 
support the CM Pros Summits alongside our conferences. This year’s 
theme complements our program and the growing interest of conference 
attendees in content globalization issues."

Designed to support business leaders as they grapple with an evolving 
global marketplace, the CM Pros Fall 2006 Summit addresses the growing 
requirement for multinational strategies, including language 
translation and content localization. CM Pros anticipates a 
record-breaking response to its Fall 2006 Summit Call for Papers 
(deadline 30 August, 2006), as well as an unprecedented number of 
attendees. This year’s Summit presenters will engage participants in a 
full complement of interactive sessions including keynote presentations 
and panel discussions as well as expert, facilitator-led roundtables 
and workshops.

“In content management terms, globalization is a mix of localization, 
content re use, and organizational and procedural challenges,” said 
Erik M. Hartman, President of the CM Pros Board of Directors and 
Director of Hartman Communicatie (www.hartman-communicatie.nl). “At 
this Summit, many content management experts from all over the world 
will share their knowledge about these challenges with the Summit 
attendees.”
