2009-Registration Required

I just noticed that this event is happening this evening in New York City and I thought I’d share the info. It looks to be an excellent opportunity to learn more about the importance of metadata. I know a number of the presenters and consider them to be true experts in the field.

Presenters include:

David Riecks
Allen Murabayashi
Chris Owyoung
Lou Manna
Garfield Hall

Below is some of the text from the event promo that was sent to me:
