[Asis-l] Smart Content conference -- announcement & call for speakers

[Seth Grimes]

I'm organizing a new conference, Smart Content: The Content Analytics 
Conference, slated for October 19, 2010 in New York. Smart Content will 
explore business challenges, technologies, and solutions in Content 
Analytics, the world where Content Management & Publishing, Search, and 
Analytics intersect. The conference is about digital transformation, about 
enhancing the business value of information, both enterprise content and 
social media. You can learn more at http://smartcontentconference.com

I hope you will consider attending, also submitting a speaking proposal. 
You'll find information on the Web site under Call for Speakers 
(http://smartcontentconference.com/ehome/index.php?eventid=13963&tabid=15930&), 
but here's most of it:

Presentation proposals from end users, analysts, researchers, and 
consultants in one of the areas that follow are especially welcome, but we 
will happily consider all proposals.  Topic examples:

     * Content management, enterprise search, and findability
     * Content tagging and enrichment
     * Content targeting including contextual advertising
     * Analytics-driven social-media and publishing strategies
     * Brand and content tracking, measurement, and optimization
     * Competitive and market intelligence
     * Knowledge bases and data services
     * Sentiment and social-media analysis
     * Rich media
     * Semantics, Web 3.0, and the Semantic Web
     * Taxonomies, ontologies, and knowledge management
     * Content analytics technologies: theme and topic extraction, metadata, classification, automated summarization, machine translation, plagiarism detection

Please submit your proposal by Monday, July 26, 2010. We will aim to 
notify you by July 30 whether your proposal is accepted. Selected speakers 
-- one per presentation -- will receive a free conference pass.

If you're from a solution provider -- a start-up or established vendor -- 
please consider submitting a proposal for a lightning talk -- a 5-8 minute 
presentation/demo of your content analytics technology, solution, or 
service -- length to be determined based on the number of accepted 
submissions. Just use the form to tell us who you are and what you propose 
to demonstrate.

Just let me know if you have questions. Thanks,

 						Seth

P.S. I'll be speaking and moderating a panel discussion on the topic, 
Analyze and Optimize Your Organization's Social Media Presence 
(https://www.nytech.org/event-details.php?eid=1011), at the New York 
Technology Council meeting, Wednesday evening, July 21, 6-8 pm. If you're 
in New York, do consider attending.
