Washington DC (September 16, 2008) -
The International Knowledge Management Institute (KM Institute), the leading educational institute in Knowledge Management (KM), today announced a new training program using state-of-the-art virtual conferencing technology.  The popular "KM Essentials" online program will be complemented by live "mentoring sessions," broadcasted to a global audience using multi-point video conferencing over the internet.

    "We are very excited to deliver the KM Essentials
    program in a live/virtual format," says KMI

    who previously could not join us in class can 
    simply log in and get the best of both worlds:
    a live class blended with cutting-edge e-Learning. 

    "No other KM training organization is doing this,"
    added Weidner, "we are proud to pioneer this new 
    format with high-quality, just-in-time training our 
    customers have come to expect."

    The virtual program will consist of the "KM
    Essentials" 2-day course, delivered in e-Learning
