presenting their Interwoven success stories at GearUp 2008," said Ben Kiker,
chief marketing officer at Interwoven. "Many of these customers represent
brands that drive the global economy and have invaluable insight to share on
how they are unlocking the value of content to achieve powerful business
results. Between the firsthand knowledge our customers will share and the
revolutionary ideas our keynote speakers will explore, I predict GearUp

can implement immediately."

At least one highly anticipated announcement expected to shift the
dialogue will take place at GearUp 2008. Bob Melk, Publisher of CIO Magazine,
is scheduled to unveil the results of its recent survey of 100 chief marketing
officers and chief information officers from Fortune 500 companies for the
first time at GearUp 2008.
"The decision by CIO Magazine to announce the results of its recent survey
on the CIO/CMO relationship at GearUp 2008 is both an honor and a perfect
fit," said Kiker. "Interwoven is committed to bridging the gap between chief
marketing and chief information officers -- two positions that, when aligned,
have a tremendous ability to leverage content to positively impact the
momentum of their companies. The data shared by CIO Magazine will help
illuminate both the pain points and positive growth signs of these
relationships, and will make our topical discussions at GearUp even more
valuable and relevant."
Melk will present at the GearUp Executive Summit -- an exclusive gathering
of senior-level marketing and information technology executives running
parallel to GearUp. The Executive Summit, taking place on April 21-23, 2008
will also feature speakers such as Terry Jones, Founder of Travelocity; Jim
Sterne, President of Target Marketing; Laura Patterson, President and
Co-Founder of VisionEdge Marketing; Bob Steelhammer, Sr. Vice President of
Global eCommerce, Premier Farnell; and Deb Eastman, Chief Marketing Officer of
Satmetrix.
Record-breaking partner support of GearUp 2008 -- where over 50 companies
have signed up to exhibit in the Partner Network Pavilion, participate in
track sessions, and network with customers -- is also helping to make GearUp a
"must attend" event for professionals in online marketing, document
management, and the professional services industries.
