Subject: Roundtable: Good to great search

The Montague Institute will hold a teleconference roundtable discussion on 
January 17, 2007 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm Eastern time. 

The topic of discussion is how to improve search engine performance for 
either an intranet or public Web site. This is NOT a discussion of how to 
improve your company's ranking in Google's search results. Instead, it's 
about how to save time for users. It will also be useful if you're thinking 
of acquiring or replacing a search engine. For a list of discussion topics, 
see http://www.montague.com/roundtable32.html. 

Walter Underwood, currently search "guru" with Netflix and formerly search 
architect for Ultraseek, will share his tips and techniques. We invited him 
to speak not only because he really knows his stuff, but also because he's 
a straight talker, understands organizational priorities, and can explain 
geeky topics in layman's terms.

The roundtable fee is $400 for members of the Society of Knowledge Base 
Publishers and $650 for non-members. The non-member fee includes an annual 
Society membership (see http://www.montague.com/member.html). You may be 
able to attend at the member rate if another person in your organization is 
already a member and is willing to let you attend in their place.

Space is limited, so you should reserve your spot early. To register and 
pay by credit card, call (413) 367-0245. To request a pro forma invoice for 
payment by check, send me an e-mail.

Regards,
Jean
