>> I hope all is well with you and your STC chapter!

>> I am writing to you regarding your scheduled
>> speakers for 2006. I think Bret
>> Freeman, an expert in content management technology
>> and information
>> management, would make a great speaker for your
>> chapter. As Senior Sales
>> Engineer for Vasont Systems, Bret Freeman frequently
>> delivers presentations
>> for webinars, industry conferences, and media
>> events. He has extensive
>> knowledge in content management strategies and
>> complex multilingual outputs.
>> Bret has more than ten years of experience in the
>> information management and
>> publishing industry.
>>
>> Some of the topics that Mr. Freeman could present
>> include:
>> * Content Management 101
>> * Quantifying your content reuse
>> * DITA vs. Custom DTDs...which do you need?
>> * Managing multiple languages - benefits of using a
>> CMS for translation
>> management
>> * Configurable vs. customizable - which is better
>> when shopping for a CMS?
>> * Compliance: Content management technology can make
>> it automatic
>>
>> Mr. Freeman can also present case studies from
>> several large organizations,
>> so that your members can learn how other
>> organizations leverage content
>> management technology. Please note that these
>> presentations will be
>> educational in nature, NOT sales pitches, unless a
>> demo is specifically
>> requested.  I have attached a couple possible
>> abstracts.
>>
>> Please let me know if you think your chapter would
>> be interested in seeing a
>> presentation on one of these topics (or if you have
>> another suggestion, we'd
>> love to hear it!). There is no fee to book a
>> presentation, we would just
>> schedule it while Mr. Freeman is in Austin this
>> November. My contact
>> information is below, please feel free to contact me
>> with questions.

>> Thank you,
