Want to learn about content strategy?

Before 2010 rolls around, there’s still time to meet whatever goals you may have had to learn about content strategy, particularly the kind of strategy for critical-path product content.

• October, New Orleans, LA: Lavacon
  A conference for techcomm managers and project managers, this year’s theme is professional and career development.

One is on content strategy; the other is on managing your personal brand online.

  The theme of the trade association summit this year is open source standards. My presentation on “open source content” is a little different aspect of content strategy.
