For information professionals who plan, manage, deliver and use web-based 
e-content applications at work., join your colleagues @ Information 
Highways 2001, Canada's premier learning experience about user-driven 
Internet content.

"This year we've streamlined event programming along five specific tracks," 
says Vicki Casey, Director of Content for Information Highways. 
"Participants interested in Knowledge Management, Government, Enterprise, 
Web Publishing or Professional Power-User applications can attend all of 
the events within a specific stream or cherry pick program sessions that 
interest them across streams over the two days. Also, we're offering 
opportunities for delegates to participate in cafes - small, interactive 
discussion groups on topics that interest them."

Specifically, the five program streams include:

Knowledge Management At Work.  Sponsored by Microsoft Canada, this stream 
spotlights intellectual capital as a strategic asset that can create value 
for users. Learn how to create an organizational culture that promotes 
collaboration and knowledge transfer, where intellectual assets are 
leveraged and shared through the support of technology-enabled initiatives.

Government Online:  New Opportunities, New Partners.  The Internet presents 
both challenges and opportunities for all levels of government to transform 
how their services are delivered to citizens. This stream addresses the 
strategies for developing the best-of-breed services through 
multi-department, multi-government partnerships.

Enterprise Knowledge ROI. How can organizations that deliver knowledge 
resources and tools to the desktop begin to realize a return on their 
substantial investments in technology? This stream identifies a combination 
of approaches and technologies that make sense to users, motivating 
employees to work smarter by fully integrating the resources available at 
the desktop into their work.

Internet Content Publishing and Distribution.  For those concerned with the 
creation, design and delivery of content for e-knowledge and e-business 
applications, this stream looks at current models for personalized content 
delivery on the Web and creating usable content for wireless devices.

Power User Communities.  Competitive intelligence professionals, market 
analysts, legal professionals, communications/PR professionals, information 
professionals and other power consumers of e-content will learn about 
technologies that promise to make results more complete and relevant, 
integrating invisible Web content with public sites as well as text with 
multimedia resources.
