Maximizing Workplace Performance and Productivity

Just released: topics of Analyst/User Roundtables where you can participate in lively discussions with Gartner analysts and your peers. View Topics >>

This summit is all about working together effectively - among your colleagues and with external business partners - so everyone can share knowledge and improve learning. How can you achieve this workplace environment? You'll learn the steps to undertake and how to set up the right architecture, invest in the best technologies, get the optimal mix of new and legacy systems, maintain control over projects, initiatives and processes, and meet new compliance requirements.

To ensure you have the information you'll need, and leave with a roadmap for success, we'll cover these top-of-mind hot issues:
• How to build, implement, and manage portals now, and in the next 5 years?
• How to leverage social networking for collaboration - creating value through blogs,
wikis, etc
• The emergence of Enterprise Content Management - challenges & pitfalls
• Consumerization of IT and the emergence of user participation: what does it mean?
• What to do about the new wave of collaboration technologies and products
• How to organize for successful collaboration and user adoption?

You'll benefit from 30 sessions over four tracks, analyst user roundtables, peer networking, product demonstrations and distinguished keynote speakers. We're expecting a record turnout again this year - more than 1,000 business leaders and IT professionals relying on Gartner for a critical update, answers to the hard questions and a clear roadmap to the future. Be there - and bring your team of IT and business leaders.
