What: Gartner Portals, Content & Collaboration Summit 2006

When: April 3-5, 2006

Where: JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada

Details: Today's competitive pressures are driven by an unrelenting,
interconnected global business ecosystem. Innovation and creativity
are the change agents, and accelerated performance is the mandate. The
Gartner Portals, Content & Collaboration Summit is the only event
designed to explain the technologies and best practices required for
innovative work to happen. This 3-day forum looks at workplace
technologies such as portals, content management, communications
tools, office suites, VOIP, collaboration support technologies, and
mobile devices. Through four focused tracks, Gartner analysts,
end-users and industry professionals will explore how these
technologies are a key element in raising overall organizational
productivity and employee impact. The Gartner Portals, Content &
Collaboration Summit is loaded with content addressing the most
critical issues today including:

    --  How the world's leading organizations are approaching the
        future of work

    --  The leading-edge technologies for portals, content management,
        collaboration and learning

    --  The quantitative and qualitative benefits of a
        high-performance workplace

    --  How new laws and compliance requirements affect the way we
        manage content and work together

    --  The vendor and market dynamics for PCC solution providers

    --  The best practices in PCC system implementations and usage,
        and how they can be adapted and applied

    --  Enterprise content and collaboration security

Keynote:

*James Surowiecki, New Yorker Columnist and Author of The Wisdom of Crowds: While our culture traditionally looks to experts rather than the masses for solutions, Mr. Surowiecki argues that groups may actually be smarter than the smartest people in them. His kick-off address will reflect the key themes of the Summit - ensuring everyone who needs information has it and sharing information and tearing down walls among stovepipes in the organization.

Keynote Panel Discussions:

*Cool Workplace Tools, Emerging Technologies: Six of Gartner's most senior analysts reviewed hundreds of new and emerging tools, technologies and vendors and will showcase the intriguing few that caught their attention in the last six months - the most interesting, provocative, stimulating, disruptive and most disappointing.

*Outstanding User Case Studies: Learn from these award-winning organizations how "success" demands far more than just technology - and how to make the necessary adjustments to the business, cultural, organizational and operational dimensions of your enterprise.
