Why should you attend Content Management Strategies/DITA North America 2012?
Effective Content Management promises to reduce costs and increase productivity. In fact, over the past fourteen years of the CMS conference history, most organizations embracing new technologies have done so to affect the bottom line. Presenting a business case to management for investments in new authoring methods, process improvements, collaboration among content developers has centered on cost reduction.
In the 2012 CMS/DITA North America conference, you will certainly find much valuable information on managing content more efficiently, as well as implementing the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) standard and others. But in 2012 you will also find a new direction. We are inaugurating an Emerging Technology track with a focus on new ways of offering up valuable content to customers and other consumers of our messages.
CMS/DITA North America is the premier conference on the most effective and efficient ideas and methods for managing enterprise content. Meet presenters who may have started with technical publications but are now branching out to training, support, marketing, human resources, policies and procedures, and other content developers.
