Call for Speakers
Enterprise Search Summit: Enabling Information Access
[Deadline for Submissions November 10, 2008]
We are now accepting
proposals to speak at the Enterprise Search Summit East 2009, which will be
held May 12-13 in New York. (Pre-conference sessions May 11). Proposals
are now being accepted at http://www.enterprisesearchsummit.com/2009/CallForSpeakers.shtml
The deadline for submitting proposals is November 10, 2008.
We seek dynamic speakers who can talk knowledgeably about detailed aspects of how to implement and maximize search within an organization. Search can no longer be viewed as a stand-alone application. It is increasingly part of everything we do and has become the de facto gateway to information in the enterprise. This year’s Summit will examine the ways to leverage search tools, information architecture, classification, and other strategies and technologies to enable information access.
Ours is a well-informed, tech-savvy audience, so proposals should be specific and detailed. Consider topic such as:
· Search as the gateway to enterprise information
· Integrating search into other enterprise systems
· Customizing your search solution/ Task-specific search
· Compliance, records management, and eDiscovery with effective search
· Migrating your search engine
· Social search and social tagging strategies & solutions
· Search-enabled decision making
· Business intelligence, data mining
· Optimizing your interface
· Navigational tools—context, facets, entity extraction, clustering, and visualization
· Emerging trends, the future of search
· Improving human-computer interaction/ Good interaction design
· Overcoming information overload
· Categorization techniques
· Specific strategies for enhancing an existing solution
If you represent a company that has an enterprise search software product, your best bet to be on our program is to collaborate with a customer to submit a case study to be presented by them, following the guidelines above and on the website.
Thank you. I look forward to receiving your proposals.
