I’m speaking later this month at the Social Intranet Summit—keynoting it, in fact—and I’m thrilled to be able to ofer a discount code so you can get in for a lower price.

Register using the promo code SISVSHEL and you’ll get a 20% discount. The price is $599, but it’ll cost you about $120 less than that.

That’s a great deal to hear the lineup of great speakers the folks at Thoughtfarmer—the social intranet platform, sponsors of the summit—have lined up. My good friends Toby Ward, Thomas Vander Wal and Ron Shewchuk will be there, along with the always thought-provoking Stowe Boyd. I don’t personally now the other speakers, but I’m familiar with several by reputation and the rest look like they have great topics to cover and equally great reputations to match.

As for my opening keynote, I’ll be talking about the role of content curation on intranets.

Here’s the description of my session:

There’s no shortage of talk about content curation on the web, but it has a place on your intranet, as well. With search functions suffering on many intranets, well curated content can make a huge difference in the value of the intranet. Employees who take the time to curate both internal and external content based on topics they care about can make it easier for their colleagues to find great content, spark more collaboration, and drive use of other internal social tools. In this session, Shel Holtz will dig into the content curation trend and explore some ways it can be applied to internal communications and employees’ day-to-day online activities.

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to this issue. In fact, I’m testing it out tomorrow at a conference at Microsoft’s Redmond, Washington headquarters during a two-hour workshop I’m leading on content curation—I’m going to float some internal communications concepts to see how the audience responds. (If you have thoughts or experience with curation for intranets, by all means, share it!)

The conference is September 28 in Vancouver. If you’re able to make it, be sure to find me and say hi!
