management projects.

The Summit will kick off with a keynote address by Ben Martin, Senior

content management strategies. He will share advice and insight on  
managing content management implementations and explore critical  
success factors impacting content management projects. In addition,

roundtable sessions, an industry leaders panel, a "birds of a  
feather" luncheon, and a networking cocktail reception (sponsored by

Who attends?

Summits attract an intimate group of content professionals. A typical  
audience may contain less than 100 attendees (both members and non- 
members alike); from well-known content management consultants to  
newly-appointed content managers; from independent content  
strategists to writers, editors, and translators; from important  
industry analysts, to business managers of content-heavy organizations.

Why "Managing Content Management Projects"?

Because many factors impact content management systems—including  
significant financial costs, stakeholders from all levels of an  
organization, new business processes as well as complex tools and  
technologies—the stakes and risks are high. Effective project  
management increases the likelihood of successfully implementing a  
content management system that meets your business requirements, on  
schedule, and on budget.

Attend the CM Pros Spring 2007 Summit and gain new insights into the  
most important issues impacting the success of content management  
projects. More importantly, learn to avoid the costly mistakes made  
by others before you.
