Gilbane Conference on Content Technologies for Government

With San Francisco’s conference behind us (another post on that in a bit) we are focused on our newest event coming up in Washington DC, June 13-15. Our DC conference is similar to our other conferences but focused on government application of content technology. Another difference is that we are working with our colleagues over at CMS Watch, whose founder Tony Byrne is chairing the conference. Tony, in turn, has enlisted the help of a program advisory committee made up of government IT and consulting experts. The preliminary conference program is available and registration is open (and yes, there is a government rate).
