I'm not sure whether, since I'm retiring soon, I'll be invited to
present at Knowledge Management conferences from now on. So if you're
able to make it to KMWorld 2009 in San Jose November 16-19 this year,
I'd love to see you. I'm running a half-day workshop, Introducing
Web 2.0 to Your Organization: A Practical Guide,
on Monday, November 16. Then on Tuesday November 17 I'm doing a
presentation on Risk
Management: A KM Approach, as
well as serving on a panel later in the day. The links above are to my
Slideshare presentation decks for the workshop and presentation, which
you can download if you want to assess whether they're worth attending.
Always the best part of these conferences is the networking between the
sessions, though. More on the conference here.
