Cambridge, MA, February 23, 2005. The Gilbane Report and Lighthouse Seminars announced that the Gilbane Conference on Content Management Technologies to take place in Amsterdam at the RAI Centre, 24-26 May 2005, includes an unprecedented gathering of international experts in content management technologies. The preliminary program for the conference is available at:

The Gilbane Conferences provide vendor neutral educational information for IT managers, system architects, and technically oriented business and project managers. At our Amsterdam conference, experts from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, the United Kingdom, the US, and more, will cover a broad range of content management technologies including:

  • enterprise and web content management
  • intranets, knowledge management, and collaboration
  • enterprise search, categorization and taxonomies
  • document management & compliance
  • and many other technologies for creating, managing and delivering with enterprise content

“Our educational conferences includes everything IT Strategists and project teams need to know in a hype-free environment and offer insights into existing and upcoming technologies necessary to implement content management applications,” said Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair. “Nothing can compare with the rich in-depth learning experience of being surrounded by subject matter experts and industry colleagues from all over the globe who are at various stages of implementing initial, or second or third projects that you can learn from”.

As an added bonus, attendees of the Gilbane Conference will be able to attend sessions at the co-located XTech 2005, giving attendees of both events unprecedented educational and networking opportunities. Formerly known as the XML Europe conference, XTech has widened its scope to incorporate neighboring technologies from the web and business. As well as XML, XTech 2005 will cover web development, browsers, open data, the semantic web and more. www.xtech-conference.org/
