— Content Technologists Track (CT) – These sessions are for IT or technically oriented content or business managers. The material is a little more technical and looks at a select set of content-related technologies.
— Marketing Managers Track (MT) – This track is designed for content managers who need to manage marketing content, whether for an e-commerce site or a cross-media brand or publishing strategy.
— Business & Compliance Managers Track (BC) – This track is for managers responsible for compliance, governance, and managing content to enhance business processes and risk reduction.

When people think of piracy protection, they usually think about music and movies, occasionally about other media such as e-books. But I have always been interested in how Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology can help any company with intellectual property protect these assets. Think of examples like a chipmaker’s CAD drawing for its newest design, a drug company’s formulation of a new medicine, or the draft agreement that gets shared during a corporate merger. Any one of these things is highly valuable, and easily distributable in digital form.
Enter BASCAP, Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy. Bill Rosenblatt has an interesting take over at DRM Watch.
