CM Professionals (CM Pros), an organization with members engaged in a wide spectrum of content management activities, industries, and geographies, announced its second semiannual member Summit to be held in San Francisco on April 11, 2005.
The event will take place at the Palace Hotel in conjunction with the Gilbane Conference on Content Management Technologies. The one-day Spring Summit will provide an open, interactive format to enable participants to get acquainted and exchange ideas with others working in similar areas of endeavor.
Participants in the Spring Summit will have an opportunity to get advice and recommendations from experts who are already well established in the field, and to exchange ideas with other professionals working in this important community of practice.

The content these professionals create, manage, and publish is also extremely varied, and includes corporate knowledge bases, scientific papers, membership lists, community calendars, press releases, news stories, stock photo catalogs, movie playbills, online courses, and product documentation.
Featured events at the Spring Summit include:
• Keynote address by Ann Rockley, who has done groundbreaking work in the field of information design for content reuse, and is the newly elected president of the CM Professionals board of directors.
• Small-group, roundtable discussions focusing on the strategy and practice of content management and the role of those who are engaged in this discipline.
• Working-group sessions to address the top seven 2005 organizational initiatives, which were proposed by the CM Professionals membership in a recent survey, and which have now been chosen for sponsorship by the board of directors.
