The agenda for All Things Content includes topics such as: creating content, building versus buying content, learning standards, informal and formal learning, and learning content management systems. “As executives register for this event, they have a unique opportunity to shape the existing agenda prior to coming,” said Jeff Whitney, vice president of marketing for OutStart. “That means attendees can either add a topic – or rank those that have already been added – to the agenda. It’s a terrific way for us to get everyone involved and ensure that the seminar is tailored to everyone’s needs.” As experts and practitioners register online for All Things Content, each registrant will receive a survey soliciting topics of interest for discussion at the seminar.
