We are working hard right now to develop a schedule of chats out at least a month in advance. We feel that this will

• make #KMers more predictable/schedulable
• give chatters a chance to attend the topics they find most interesting
• provide more exposure for the moderators
• encourage blogging and comments leading up to each chat

One of the founding sponsors of KMers is the Knowledge Management Institute. As such, their members will receive information about the KMers chats in their periodic member emails. We welcome everyone to these chats and hope that you find them a valuable tool in your search for KM information and connections. Read more »
