Fall 2006 CM Pros Summit Program

Monday 27 November

As awareness of the "World Enterprise" increases, so too does the recognition of multilingual content -- and content management. Many more companies now seek to increase their market share by tapping foreign markets. With our theme of "The Impact of Globalization on Content Management Practices and Practitioners" the Summit, which spans one and a half-days, will address the importance of effective globalization of content and provide you with additional knowledge and localization skills to pass on to your clients and companies.
