While the coronavirus pandemic has made a physical get-together of our large and diverse international community impossible, we have put all our efforts into creating a digital event that will bring that unmistakable tekom feeling to the virtual. The broad range of topics will help our community members tackle today’s challenges and get prepared for post-pandemic times.
The benefits of going virtual
While we are all looking forward to the day when we can once again gather face-to-face, online has become the new normal for the time being, and we have come to discover its many benefits:

Don’t miss In this sweeping keynote by founder Cruce Saunders, hear a vision for how to resurface latent value in organizations by reimagining how content is modeled and managed. As an industry, do we see content structures in a single limited form? It’s time to move towards a kaleidoscopic understanding of content’s structure that can adapt itself. The future requires flexible models and a nimble content supply chain. New patterns for content intelligence enable context-adaptive experiences.
