What Are You Looking for at KMWorld 2009?

About a year ago in this very blog, I extolled the enjoyment I got from attending the annual KMWorld conference, meeting new folks and catching up with old friends. I say now, as I did then, that Jane and Hugh (if you're reading this, you already know who they are) put on a great conference. It's easily my second favorite conference of the year (I'll let you guess which conference is my top pick). Sadly, this year client commitments will prevent me from attending KMWorld--but a client commitment is a good thing to have these days, so I can't complain too much.

However, what this amounts to is akin to getting a free upgrade to first class for everyone else attending. I was scheduled to participate in the panel discussion. Luckily, I was able to convince our president, Dr. Carla O'Dell, to step in and provide her insight into the future of knowledge. What an upgrade! By the way, Darcy Lemons, our top KM researcher, is also scheduled to speak at the conference. If you want to find out why your lessons learned program doesn't work, be sure to attend her session.
