For CIOs, Chief Knowledge Officers, researchers and other professionals managing knowledge assets for their organization, 2009 National Knowledge Management Conference will provide comprehensive interactive discussions, case studies and networking opportunities intended to build a community of best practices across industries on knowledge management topics, strategies and innovations.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

    --  Social, cultural and ethical impact of Web 2.0
    --  Advancing privacy, security and trust in a knowledge-driven economy
    --  Advancing globally responsible practices through knowledge management
