Speaking at ... 8th Annual Strategic Intranet Summit (Wellington, New Zealand)

(stealing the self promotion approach from a fellow Michael :-)

BrightStar is hosting the 8th Annual Strategic Intranet Summit at the Duxton Hotel here in Wellington on Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd of August (Google Calendar of speakers at the bottom of this posting)

I'm speaking!

They have this to say about the conference:

"Now in its eighth year, this event has built a reputation as New Zealand’s premier intranet summit, highly valuable in terms of both the knowledge you gain and the people you meet. This year features a great line up of case studies illustrating successful intranet management initiatives and prominent speakers covering the biggest issues that challenge intranet managers."

I'm on Day 2, Friday 22nd August at 1.50pm
