ENTERPRISE SEARCH SUMMIT is a highly intense, in-depth, 2-day conference that covers how to develop, implement and enhance
cutting-edge internal search capabilities. If you are an information manager or IT or search professional, ENTERPRISE SEARCH SUMMIT is
where you will learn strategies and build the skill sets you need to make your organization’s content not only searchable but "findable."
The emphasis for ENTERPRISE SEARCH SUMMIT 2009 is on how enterprise search enables Information Access. Search can no longer be viewed as a
stand-alone application. It is increasingly part of everything we do and has become the de facto gateway to information in the enterprise. This year’s Summit will
examine the ways to leverage search tools, information architecture, classification, and other strategies and technologies to deliver meaningful results—not just in terms of
information, but to the bottom line.
Expert speakers tackle tough topics such as tuning search to deliver optimum results, making the most of search logs and analytics, applying Web Service-based
solutions to metadata challenges, facets, topic maps, and much more. Breakout sessions pack more hours of programming into the concentrated conference
schedule and give you the chance to select topics of special interest to customize your conference experience.
ENTERPRISE SEARCH SUMMIT delivers the skills and knowledge you need to implement, manage, and
enhance search in your organization.
