December 9, 2004, Medford, NJ — On October 26–28, 2004, more than 1,4000
knowledge, content, and information management professionals gathered at the
Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif., to attend the KMWorld & Intranets
Conference & Exposition.
In its 8th year, KMWorld & Intranets remains dedicated to bringing attendees
a powerful conference designed to explore the potential of knowledge management
and to master the related technologies of intranets and portals. Hosting more
than 100 speakers and featuring six tracks over a span of 3 days, KMWorld & Intranets
helped put the spotlight on the strategies and tools in the marketplace that

This year's theme, "Applying Strategies & Tools for Performance Improvement," emphasizes
that knowledge management is neither theory nor dream, but at work today, totally
integrated into daily business and work processes. The opening keynote speech
for KMWorld by Dave Snowden helped set the stage for the rest of the conference.
This industry leader's keynote presentation used real-world examples to help
explain how KMW can improve decision-making and innovation within an organization.

Studios; Eric Schaffer, Human Factors International, Inc.; Carla O'Dell, American
Productivity & Quality Center; and French Caldwell, Gartner.
