The Knowledge Management Conference, organized by the The Conference Board of Canada (CBoC), aims to discuss the essential elements for knowledge management success. You’ll hear about the role and value of knowledge management, best practices for metrics, how knowledge management is linked to collaboration and innovation, and how it contributes to superior organizational performance. Leading knowledge management organizations will share their cases, including lessons learned, what they do and how they do it.
It is the quasi-successor of the Knowledge Management Summit (2014, Canada), the Knowledge Management Conference (2001-2002, Canada), the Conference on Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning (1997-2004, USA), the European Knowledge Management Conference (1998-2001, Belgium), and the Knowledge Strategies conference (2002, Singapore).
The conferences are also a meeting piont for The Conference Board’s related senior executive councils or exchange networks on “Knowledge and Collaboration”, “Learning and Knowledge Management”, “Information and Knowledge Management”, “Knowledge Strategy”, and “Knowledge Management”. (In general these groups meet 3 times a year)
