ENTERPRISE SEARCH SUMMIT WEST returns to San José in 2008!
We will be posting a Call for Speakers soon. Check this site frequently for updates.
ENTERPRISE SEARCH SUMMIT WEST is a highly intense, in-depth, 2-day conference that covers
how to develop, implement and enhance cutting-edge internal search capabilities. If you are an information manager or IT
or search professional, ENTERPRISE SEARCH SUMMIT WEST is where you will learn strategies and build the
skill sets you need to make your organization’s content not only searchable but "findable."
The emphasis for ENTERPRISE SEARCH SUMMIT WEST is on “extending search,” as search becomes not
just an application but a major computing platform. The agenda focuses on how enterprise search software and related
applications really work inside organizations and covers the complex issues and problems that challenge experienced
search managers. Expert speakers tackle tough topics such as tuning search to deliver optimum results, making the most of
search logs and analytics, applying Web services solutions to metadata challenges, developing topic maps, and much more.
Breakout sessions pack more hours of programming into the concentrated conference schedule and give you the chance to
select topics of special interest to customize your conference experience.
ENTERPRISE SEARCH SUMMIT WEST delivers the skills and knowledge you need to implement, manage,
and enhance search in your organization.
