So You’ve Implemented a CMS, Now What?
Publishers of all sizes recognize the importance of embarking on a content management initiative. Over the course of planning for, defining requirements, selecting, implementing, and launching a CMS the big picture gets obscured. Howard will revisit why publishers need to journey through this (sometimes) tumultuous task and speak to the benefits you can expect immediately after implementation and in the long term.

The New Speed of Publishing
Publishing is as much about real-time consumption and interaction across a landscape of devices as it is about the content. Whether buying a text book, searching journal articles, or perusing tweets and Facebook updates, people expect to interact with content in real-time. This holds true regardless of location or device. Publishers must not only support the drive towards real-time and location aware interaction across devices, they must lead the way. Jason will discuss how the need for real-time consumption is driving real-time solutions in the publishing industry and how publishers are taking advantage of this fundamental shift throughout the lifecycle of their content.
