Now in its fourth year, the Showcase is expanding to a two-day, two-track format in order to delve deeper into comprehensive and practical Knowledge Management practices and case studies. The first track of the conference will feature global experts in KM exploring best practices and applied methodologies, with the second track focused on real-world case studies and KM success stories.

“Our intent with these speakers is to provide practical, actionable, real-world learning and discussion that conference participants will be able to apply immediately,” said Zach Wahl.

In addition to a series of world-recognized speakers and panels, the conference will integrate innovative sessions leveraging Agile games and Design Thinking exercises, a networking reception, and Sponsor Exhibitions.
