New Gilbane Government Conference with CMS Watch

Our new conference will be at the Reagan Building, June 13 -15, 2006, and is being produced in conjunction with CMS Watch with Tony as the conference chair. We’ve done a fair bit of work for the government over the years and are looking forward to doing more in DC, and to working with Tony on the event. There is a call for papers, and the deadline for submissions is February 28, 2006.

This conference will offer attendees access to industry analysts that study and report on the latest content management technologies on a daily basis as well as government users of content management solutions who will impart what works and what does not work for them,” said Tony Byrne, CMS Watch founder and Conference Chair.

“We are very pleased to be working with our colleagues at CMS Watch on our newest event,” said Frank Gilbane, Managing Director, Lighthouse Seminars. “Tony Byrne is one of the most highly respected leaders in the content management industry. Tony and his team are tracking Federal government content management needs closely, and will help us meet the rapidly growing demand from government IT and business managers for high quality information about content management technologies.”
