Boston KM Forum

The Boston KM Forum attracts a very diverse audience. Our meetings usually have participants from a range of commercial businesses, professional service firms, academia, government agencies, non-profits, and independent consultants.

We attract a multidisciplinary group of professionals who have either found themselves in a lead role with KM, tasked to find and implement technology solutions that support knowledge sharing, organize and manage repositories of proprietary content, improve content retrieval, or improve processes and policies for sharing knowledge assets. Degrees of our members include: information science, computer science, library science, business administration, communications, computational linguistics, operations research analysis, the behavioral sciences, law, and various engineering degrees.

All of this diversity makes for great discussions and interchanges for meetings featuring speakers, workshops, or topical discussion forums.

We benefit from hearing what our members have to report whether they are struggling to launch a new initiative, or have already established a solid basis for usable and useful knowledge transfer. Discussions of expertise  management, collaboration methods, search and navigation technologies, archival practices, content management and categorization techniques, learning system, and social tools have all been popular in recent years. Blending KM with various cultures is always interesting.

We meet on the third Thursday of every month for a speaker presentation in Waltham, Massachusetts, and would like to hear from you if you have a story to tell or just want to be on our meeting mailing list.

You can send your ideas for programs, volunteer to give one, or send contact information to info at kmforum.org or respond with a comment to this posting. We look forward to including you in our programs.
