The Event: Gilbane Conference on Content Management

When: Dec 2, 2009 - 9:40am - 11:00am

Where: The Westin Copley Place, Boston, Massachusetts.

The Westin Copley Place has created a personalized Web site for Gilbane Boston Conference guests. Group rates are available until November 13, 2009.

What: Just a few short years ago many organizations wouldn't think of implementing an open source content management system. Today, thousands of major global companies have implemented solutions like Drupal, Joomla!, Plone and Alfresco, to name a few. In this session, Joe Bachana, President and Founder of DPCI, has invited major luminaries from these four open source CMS projects to help attendees better differentiate each system from each other.

Particular attention will be paid to calling out the strengths of each system. The session will also pay close attention to any feedback or lingering criticism in the market that open source CMS platforms still face.

As the lines between content technologies continue to blur, the business implications of your content strategies need to be crystal clear. You need to make your web content part of an integrated platform for customers, partners, and employees. You need to understand which social media outlets fit into your overall content and communication channels. And you have to hold down costs for content management and delivery in ways that don't slow down your company's ability to innovate and grow.

For 2009, the Gilbane Conference is more focused than ever on the business impact of content solutions that are here right now and ready to be implemented right now. Every program component is tied to the business issues surrounding your marketing, technical and enterprise content. We've taken the four major areas of how enterprises use Web and content technologies and organized them into tracks that make it easy for you to customize an agenda that meets your business objectives. Along the way you'll have direct interaction - including valuable one-on-one time - with our unique community of enterprise practitioners, analysts, consultants and solution providers. 

Who: Joe Bachana, President and Founder of DPCI, will moderate a panel of leading experts in the open source Web content management arena.

Panelists include:

• Jay Batson, co-founder of Acquia, the commercial support organization for the Drupal project
• Scott Paley, CEO of Abstract Edge and a key member of the Plone Foundation
• Mitch Pirtle, a Founder of the Joomla! project
