I-KNOW 08 - 8th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
 
3 - 5 September 2008
Graz, Austria
http://www.i-know.at

Objective
==========
Knowledge management has been called everything from innovative and 
crucial to new wine in old bottles and dead. Usually, different 
perceptions spring from different perspectives. The aim of I-KNOW 
is to bring a broad array of these perspectives together, to learn 
from each other and to jointly find promising ways ahead for 
the future. 
 
Now in its eighth year, I-KNOW has a tradition of bringing
together Europe´s leading researchers and practitioners involved
in knowledge management. Attracting more than 500 attendees,
I-KNOW is the premier conference on knowledge management in Europe.
I-KNOW provides a perfect opportunity to stay abreast of
the latest developments in the field. The novelty and the quality of the
accepted contributions are ensured by a high-calibre program committee
featuring international experts on a broad range of knowledge management topics.

I-KNOW will be complemented by I-MEDIA (www.i-media.tugraz.at)
the International Conference on New Media Technology and
the International Conference on Semantic Systems (www.i-semantics.at).
Both conferences will be held concurrently with I-KNOW. This extension
reflects the increasing importance and convergence of knowledge management,
new media technologies and semantic technologies.
