'''KS/KM in a World Of Change - An Open KM4Dev Community Gathering, Brussels, October 5 (evening) -8, 2009'''  

The 2009 KM4Dev meeting will be held this year from 5pm 5 October - 8 October at the Maison Notre-Dame du Chant d'Oiseau in Brussels, Belgium. 

We are in a time of significant global change. Climate change impacts agriculture, water, health and other development areas. Global financial crises affect the poor and everything they need. How can knowledge sharing and knowledge management help us address these complex and interrelated issues?   

Join us for three+ days of thinking and working together on these issues at the 2009 KM4Dev annual gathering. Over the three days, we will have both separate theme focused conversations and then we will weave them together to think about the role of KM/KS separately and collectively. As usual, we'll also spend some of our time welcoming new members into the community, sharing a little KM4Dev history and making some new history together.

== Where we are communicating about the workshop ==

Because we are spread out across a number of tools (DGroups, this wiki and the NING site) we have created a little map for you. But consider this page the "start" page for the content and the 2009DGroup as the key communications tools, and the NING as our place to create a reporting out archive.
