KM Asia is one of the longest standing events, and one that has over the years attracted some of the major names in both the theory and practice
of knowledge management. It has also centred knowledge management in the region attracting delegates from many countries.
This year is no exception. For me it is an opportunity to greet old friends and meet new ones. I first met Mary Lee Kennedy when she worked
for Microsoft before she moved to Harvard and thence to her own business. I can speak no more highly than to say that when I was in Redmond
earlier this year she was still remembered as a pioneer. David Gurteen single-handedly created and maintains one of the major public resources of
knowledge management. He has run his popular KCafés on four continents and I anticipate he will distil the wisdom gained from those events as a
keynote speaker.
John Girard and Marion Georgieff bring an American perspective to the event. Marion’s background in artificial intelligence and experience
working within a major U.S. agency provide a complement to the consultancy and research experience that John brings as he has done through his
books. Aside from the keynotes we have a range of practitioner case studies, we hear from MAKE award winners, in addition to a broad range of
workshops. I thoroughly enjoyed the ‘Experienced KM Practitioner’ workshop that I ran at KM Australia in August and I’m pleased that ARK have
decided to repeat the post-conference session in Singapore.
A mixture of theory and practice, a chance to take part in workshops and in the multiple and valuable conversations that always take place
between delegates, KM Asia is an event not to be missed.
