Many business management folk are becoming aware of, or involved in,
learning organization issues, knowledge management or activities connected
with communities of practice or virtual teams. Here is an opportunity you
will
not want to miss, no travel, access from work or home, very low cost, vast
networking potential.
 
Knowledge ecology (KE) looks at the people issues that make it possible to
create and share knowledge, such as; dialog, trust, communities of practice,
identity, building meaning and making distinctions. As part of KE, we
examine the synergy between software tools and social practices, explore
the dynamics  around tacit vs. explicit knowledge, and experiment with
content, context, conversation, community and creativity to understand
how knowledge works.
 
During the month of February 1998, you will have a unique opportunity to
join the virtual Knowledge Ecology Fair, dialog with knowledge managers and
consultants from the major companies, examine advanced new KM software,
participate in leading edge discussions with experts from all over the
world and learn about this new field.
 
The Fair offers; keynotes from leading thinkers, workshops covering exciting
new approaches, informal meetings with software vendors and a great chance to
network with colleagues who share your interests and concerns. Above all the
Fair will allow you to experience the true benefits of a virtual
knowledge-sharing community.
 
Register now, the Fair starts February 2nd.
