with Sara Wachter-Boettcher

Doors: 6 pm | Presentation: 7pm

Mobile, cross-channel, responsive, future-friendly. The web is moving forward, but content is still holding us back. Locked into inflexible pages and documents, most content is far from ready for today's world of responsive sites, apps, APIs, and read-later servicesmuch less for the coming one, where the web is embedded in everything from autos to appliances. We can't create more content for all of these devices and channels. We'd go nuts trying to manage and maintain all of it. Instead, we need content that does more for us: Content that's structured and defined so it can travel and shift while keeping its meaning and message intact. But structured content isn't just about your CMS. It affects your whole organization. In this talk, you'll learn to revisit legacy content and add the structure and metadata needed to make it more flexible. Perhaps even more important, you'll learn to use mobile as an opportunity to break down departmental walls, rethink your organizations workflow, and become more customer-centric.
