SLA 2010: CI Division Spotlight Panels and No-Host Dinner
We have some exciting CI programming coming up at the SLA Annual Conference! Even if you cannot attend live, please remember that the sessions are being recorded and will be covered in the post-conference issue of Intelligence Insights. All sessions will also be covered on Twitter as well.
To that end, we're soliciting your questions for Wednesday's two Spotlight Panels.(See descriptions below.) We can't guarantee we'll answer all of them, but we'll do our best. We have some subjects targeted already, but want to be as interactive as possible. Please send your topics/issues to [email protected] and [email protected].
We would also like to highlight our Tuesday No-Host Dinner -- please send even tentative RSVPs to the contacts above. It's a great opportunity to catch up with colleagues in a more social setting.

Delving Beyond the Published Record: Market Research & Knowledge Management
Info pros are extremely adept at deep-dive secondary research and
assembling relevant resources/access, but additional skills would add
value to their repertoire and offer major benefits to organizations. Market
research capabilities are a dynamic way to uncover new knowledge, while expert
knowledge management systems across the enterprise lead to stronger return on
investmentfor valuable market research studies as well as other organizational
initiatives. This session will focus on both as important value drivers
and integral parts of the info pro skill set.
Presenting: Victor Camlek

Intelligence Early Warning Systems: Beyond Monitoring
Recent years have
seen CI practitioners increasingly embrace and
employ Early Warning Systems (EWS) as a powerful way to generate
systematic,
continuous, and robust intelligence – as well as on-going effective and
value –
for their senior managers and organizations. Discuss what this practice
means
to both intelligence and information services, how to develop early
warning
systems, and how early warning systems may be used to provide timely
advanced
insights on developing trends and events, competitive circumstances, and
issues
important to decision-makers.
Presenting: Ellen Naylor

InfoCitizen: Creating and
Finding
Value in Online Communities
Whether
participating in or building an online community (such as
Ning, LinkedIn Groups or wikis), competitive intelligence info pros
bring
unique perspectives and skills to the conversation. They can also derive
tremendous value from communities, using them to find experts, make
connections, and glean information. In this session, you'll learn from
real-life examples of best practices in participating in online
communities and
come away with tips and ideas to help you get the most out of your work.

SPOTLIGHT SESSION—Ask the
Competitive Intelligence Experts Panel
Info pros are
increasingly switching to competitive intelligence,
since there’s always a demand for market intelligence. Bring your
pressing CI
questions, concerns and stories to this informal panel. If you have a
particular query, share it--many of your SLA peers are probably thinking
the
same thing. If you’re shy about asking, write your question down and our
facilitator will ask it for you. Learn from the experts, but also from
each
other, as this is about knowledge sharing.
Moderating: Ellen Naylor
Panelists: Arik Johnson, Claudia Clayton, Jan Herring
