The survey on the list of questions for our keynote panel on Wednesday is still open, but we have published the results so far at: http://gilbane.com/gilbaneboston_keynote_survey.html.

There are a couple of different ways to calculate the most popular questions based on a combination of the "important", "interesting" and "not interesting" ratings. You can look at the results and come to your own conclusions, but no matter how you do it the popular questions so far are:

• What are the top 3 technologies that must be considered in any content management strategies in the next 12-24 months?
• Are search 'platforms' going to replace CMSs as the primary user entrance to content repositories?
• How will Blog and Wiki tools be used in enterprise content applications? How are they being used today?
• What is the number one advantage, and the number one disadvantage of each of the approaches represented on the panel (ECM suite, CM application, infrastructure CM, hosted CM, open source CM)?
• Are there any breakthrough classification or metadata tagging technologies on the horizon that will significantly impact content management strategies?
• How is widespread adoption of RSS/Atom going to affect content delivery? And what does this mean to enterprise content management or publishing strategies?
• How will the new SharePoint Server's CM capability affect the CM market?

You still have 2 days to cast your vote, and to get to Boston to hear the keynote panel (which is open to all) debate these and other questions.

NOTE: This is a re-post from our Analyst Blog.

In preparation for our panel on Content Globalization Workflows on Thursday November 30th at our Boston conference, we have created a survey to gauge how organizations are dealing with increasing market demand for localized content.

We hope to see you at this session. But whether you join us or not, contribute to it by answering our survey questions. We'll publish the results in a blog entry after the conference, including the results from our audience survey. Give us your input and you'll be eligible to win a free conference pass for one of our future conferences!

Here is a short URL to the survey you can share with others: http://tinyurl.com/yjy694

Here's what we'd like to know:
1. Which issue is your most pressing business driver for providing localized content to your customers?
2. Who is responsible for purchasing translation software in your organization?
3. What is the most difficult challenge within your localization processes?
4. Do you have one or more content/document management systems in house?
5. Do you have one or more translation management systems in house?
6. If you do not have a translation management system in house, who do you work with to manage your translation processes?
7. If you have both a content/document and a translation management system in house, are they integrated?
8. If the systems are integrated, select the most appropriate description of the integration.

For Immediate Release:

Largest Collection of Industry Analysts, Researchers, and Practitioners Gather to Provide Unique Balanced Market Perspective

Boston MA, October 10, 2006. The Gilbane Group and Lighthouse Seminars today announced the opening keynote panel for the 3^rd Annual Gilbane Boston Conference will take place November 28^th – 30^th, 8:30am, at The Westin Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts. The dynamic keynote panel “The Future of Content Management Technologies & Solutions” will be moderated by Frank Gilbane, CEO, Gilbane Group, Inc. panelists include: Jared Spataro, Senior Product Manager, Microsoft Office Servers, Information Worker PMG, Microsoft; David Nelson-Gal, Senior Vice President, Engineering, Interwoven; Detlef Kamps, President, RedDot Solutions; Jim Howard, CEO, CrownPeak, and John Newton, Co-founder & CTO, Alfresco.

The Gilbane Conference opens each of its events with a panel of content technology and market experts that is completely interactive (i.e., no presentations). The experts include industry analysts, consultants, enterprise IT and business senior managers, and technologists. This year’s Boston conference has a cross section of different categories of content technology vendors, including a large ECM vendor, a mid-tier second generation vendor, a hosted CM vendor, an open source ECM vendor, and an infrastructure supplier. Each of these types of vendor could provide some, or all, of an organization’s content and information management needs, but how do you decide which? Which of these approaches point towards the future and which will be legacy approaches? Do they complement each other or compete? What do they have in common? What do each of these technology experts think the future of content management and content-oriented applications will look like? This will prove to be a lively and educational debate!

This annual event brings together thought leaders and practitioners to provide attendees with actionable advice, techniques, best practices, and case studies to help successfully implement content technologies critical to their businesses. The topics to be covered in-depth in the conference program will include:

• Web Content Management (WCM)
• Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
• Collaboration, Enterprise Wikis & Blogs
• Enterprise Search & Information Access Applications
• Enterprise Digital Rights Management (eDRM)
• Automated Publishing

The event includes:

• 34 sessions and panel discussions
• 4 pre-conference tutorials
• Technology demonstration area with more than 50 of the leading vendors
• Special events
• Co-located with the Content Management Professionals Association (CM Pros) Fall Summit

“We have once again built a program anchored by a cross-section of industry thought leaders that provides independent analysis and balanced market perspectives that can’t be found at any other event,” said Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair. "We are focused on hosting an educational conference that includes everything IT strategists and project teams need to know in a hype-free environment that offers insights into existing and upcoming technologies necessary to implement content-oriented applications.”
