Open Publish is an event focused on issues such as improving the quality of information, better productivity for users and reducing non-productive costs. It will be of particular interest to those who believe in the potential of technology but understand the importance of people.

By combining the flexible collaboration of a user group with input from the leading thinkers and practitioners in publishing, Open Publish fosters meaningful discussion in the publishing community.

The 2008 conference program will feature a wide array of publishing topics that explores the technology, business and human factors that are driving change in the publishing process as well as:

• methodologies for selecting and implementing content management solutions
  
  
• cost estimation, return on investment, quality and risk management for publishing projects
  
  
• creating and using web-based programming interfaces (mash-ups)
  
  
• formal software development methodologies in the publishing environment
  
  
• understanding and leveraging open content such as Wikipedia
  
  
• best practices for content creation and conversion
