Speed debate

Two teams will debate over a current hot topic in the knowledge and content space. Each team will present concise arguments, leaving you to decide who has the strongest case and who should win the debate.

Collaborative roundtable discussion

In this session, the facilitator will address issues and topics submitted by the conference delegates on the previous day. These issues will be a reflection on the conference presentations thus far and will raise any common issues and areas of appeal. The facilitator will welcome delegates to highlight and share any lessons learned and discuss points of interest.

Conference delegates are asked to approach the Ark Group Stand during Day One to submit questions and discussion points for this session.

You can also submit topics for discussion prior to the conference by sending them to aga@arkgroupasia.com.

Post-conference masterclasses

This year KM Australia will include eight post-conference masterclasses, providing you with a broader choice of topics to engage in. The masterclasses allow you to engage with our keynote speakers and other KM, CM and IM specialists in a more intimate and interactive environment, conducive to enhanced learning opportunities and improved networking.

KM Arena - a unique networking opportunity

This innovative concept will involve a reserved area within the exhibition hall where you will be able to meet with speakers and other attendees to actively network and share ideas.

Delegates are also encouraged to join:

Here is what people said about KM Arena at KM Australia 2007:

Dave Snowden, Cognitive Edge

from after-action to in-action review

I did the opening keynote at KM Australia this morning. A good sized audience and great feedback. They also have a meeting place where I have been settled for the day catching up on email and RSS feeds, and having lots and lots of interesting conversations. Its a good idea, a lot of people find it difficult to ask questions after a keynote, but here they join in on conversations, see that you are open to anyone and join in. Its those exchanges that are amongst the most valuable.

The event was attended by 200+ people with a great idea called the "KM Arena" which was a meeting place where people could network and talk to presenters and keynote speakers.
