We are often asked to deliver educational workshops at industry events. Here are some events where Earley workshops are planned.

Topic: Taxonomy, Metadata, and Search: Put Your Content to Work
Speaker: Seth Earley
Date/Time: May 14, 9:00am to 5:00pm
As a content strategist, creator, or manager, understanding the role of metadata in search and any CMS isn’t optional. And with the shift toward structured content, learning how to prepare your content for multi-platform distribution is equally important. This workshop will introduce you to information management best practices. You’ll also learn about the important relationship between content maintenance and content governance and the role they play in any CMS.
SLA Annual Conference 2012 - Chicago, IL | July 14-18, 2012
Topic: Taxonomy and Information Architecture for SharePoint
Speaker: Seth Earley
Date/Time: July 14, 8:00am to 5:00pm
Many organizations struggle to organize content and are often unaware of the options available for creating successful information architectures. This course is designed to provide participants with the basic skills necessary to leverage taxonomy and metadata to improve navigation and search within a SharePoint environment. Techniques for implementing a taxonomy and metadata using native SharePoint functionality will be discussed, as will the tool’s limitations and potential solutions for the integration and management of complex taxonomic structures. Additional topics include faceted search, custom development and third-party add-ons.
