You are invited to participate in the 2015 Knowledge Sciences Symposium WNY  
on the campus of St. Bonaventure University in Olean, New York, on October 8 & 9, 2015.This event will build on the work of the 2013 Knowledge Sciences Symposiums where a blueprint for a regional Knowledge Sciences Center was envisioned.

According to Bedford, Lewis & Moon (2014):

In the knowledge economy, there is as much or more knowledge being created outside of academia as there is within (Peters 2007). Knowledge economy challenges are chaotic, dynamic and "wicked". The knowledge economy is not as segmented or hierarchically structured as was an industrial economy - the transformation requires that all sectors and all stakeholders move together rather than move individually.

The following are the desired outcomes of the Symposium:

  • Develop an action plan for the creation and implementation of a regional Knowledge Sciences Center in Western New York.
  • Provide a knowledge management learning, resource, and networking event.
  • Engage the community of knowledge management professionals in Western New York with other business and community leaders as well as with KM professionals the world over.
  • "Break ground" for the nation's first Knowledge Sciences Center(KSC). Proceeds from the Symposium will be designated toward the Knowledge Sciences Center, an initiative of Pioneer Knowledge Services.

Keynote Speaker

Internationally recognized KM expert David Gurteen is the keynote speaker for  
the 2015 Knowledge Sciences Symposium. A thought leader and facilitator,  
Gurteen helps people to share their knowledge, learn from each other, and  
innovate and to work together effectively to make a difference.
