It has been a few weeks since hundreds of participants from around the world shared their first experience of KMWorld
virtually! Once again the event included Taxonomy Boot Camp, Enterprise Search & Discovery, and Text Analytics Forum. I hope all you participants have had a chance to revisit the conference site with your unique registration code on the Pheedloop platform and take advantage of the archived content (both slides and recorded videos) you missed last month. There were so many wonderful discussions, case studies, sharing of tools and strategies, amazing insights, discovery of new resources and learning from colleagues, networking & more. In addition to the innovative and knowledgeable faculty of speakers, (listed alphabetically by first name — %$#@*), the conference was supported by exhibitors and sponsors who highlighted technology and solutions to enhance knowledge sharing in any organization.

I was really inspired yesterday listening to KM pioneer Leif Edvinsson speak to the SIKM community begun by Stan Garfield many years ago.

Leif touched on many interesting things: KM in 3D, knowledge navigation, ignorance management, learning to see, learning journeys, and more!
