The LavaCon Content Strategy Conference: Creating Unified Content Experiences | October 27-30, 2019 | Portland, OR

The LavaCon Content Strategy Conference

LavaCon started in Hawaii (hence our name) to help connect organizations that are experiencing content challenges with the speakers and vendors who can help, enabling attendees to save their company money, generate revenue, and reclaim their personal life!

However, LavaCon is more than just a conference. It’s a place where rock stars of content strategy gather to share tribal knowledge, network with peers, and build professional relationships that will last for years to come.

LavaCon: Find Your Tribe. Enhance Your Skills. Make a Difference.

Creating Unified Content Experiences

The next LavaCon will be October 27-30, 2019 in Portland, OR.

From Jack Molisani, LavaCon’s Executive Director:

I see a trend where consumers are reading product documentation before buying products, and companies are recognizing that product documentation is an integral part of the customer journey.

I also see leading-edge companies publishing content from multiple silos, such as displaying tech support and marketing content seamlessly on the same page. This not only improves the customer experience, it also leverages content to generate revenue.

Then add chat bots, augmented reality and virtual reality, all of which must integrate with legacy content.

To help organizations do all of the above, our 2019 theme is: Creating Unified Content Experiences

LavaCon Content Strategy Conference: The Buzz

``My favorite part about LavaCon is the connections and the networking that I do when I'm here.``- Matt Sullivan, Tech Comm Tools
``My biggest takeaway from LavaCon has been not something that I learned in a classroom, but something that I learned in the lunchroom, and that is the networking aspect of this. That's the best part of these conferences. It's the best part of LavaCon. The people that you meet, the takeaways that you get from them.``- MaryKay Grueneberg, SAP
``Great location, awesome conference, awesome food. If nothing else, if you ever wanted to treat yourself, you should go to LavaCon.``- Christopher Ward, WebWorks

``LavaCon is the successful result of fantastic planning, organization, energy, and creativity, as well as the excellent work of the staff at the Portland Hilton, a beautiful venue. The people, sessions, and activities, including the tours around Portland and the Columbia River Gorge, all contributed to a most memorable experience.``- Carol Moyer, Lockheed Martin
I stopped and thanked you personally at the conference, but I must say it again. Thank you! I’ve been raving about how wonderful last week was to anyone and everyone! I’m pretty sure LavaCon changed the trajectory of my life, in a good way! Thanks much!- B.J., Manager, Technical Publications
The LavaCon conference provided me with an opportunity to mix and mingle with a variety of people and perspectives. This year’s gathering seemed to reach new heights in this regard. I found myself engaged in detailed conversations on several occasions, and these conversations helped me to put some final touches to my own rubric and framework for discussing content, content strategy, and content solutions. So I need to declare this year’s event to be an unqualified success.``- Joe Gollner, Gnostyx Research
