Interwoven’s “Legal IT Leadership Summit”/2006

I’m pleased to report that I’ll be attending Interwoven’s annual
"Legal IT Leadership Summit" this coming Monday through Thursday, May
22—25,
at the Ritz
Carlton/Bachelor Gulch, as Interwoven’s guest, which is extremely
gracious on their part.

The panel topics include:

• Redefining the Relationship between the Business and IT;
• Pragmatic Approaches to Knowledge Management;
• Architecting IT Governance and processes for the new business
  climate; and
• Information Management Strategies in Today’s Environment.

This particular annual IT conference surely ranks among the most
valuable of the many offered by various firms and organizations
throughout the year.  Here’s a summary of what it’s all about: 

“It is probably the one time in each year when I get the opportunity to have a real in depth debate with colleagues from either side of the Atlantic. The program, speakers and even timetable are set by the advisory board.”
– Janet Day, CIO, Berwin Leighton Paisner

"The Legal IT Leadership Summit is an exclusive event that brings together
40-50 of the IT leaders (CIO’s /Technology Partners) at the largest and
most influential law-firms across the globe with the goal of discussing
the most pressing challenges they face. The summit focuses on 3-4 issues
that impact large global law firms in great depth. The format for each
session includes keynotes by an expert on the subject followed by a moderated
forum or panel discussion that drives questions and deeper discussions,
sharing of success and failures and case studies.

"This year’s theme – Navigating New Frontiers, reflects that the business
climate for law-firms is changing, and this shift is bringing new expectations
of IT to provide simple solutions to increasingly complex challenges."

Unusually, the agenda is set entirely by the completely independent
Advisory Board, and not by Interwoven.  The members of
this year’s Advisory Board are:

I look forward to seeing old friends, and to making new ones.
