More on the problems with conferences these days. Unfortunately, companies like Gartner are in the conference business, so have no motivation to take Scott's advice and focus on content rather than turnstiles.

Bruce Silver reviews a cloud-based BPMN process modeler. Not favorably.

I didn't read the Forrester report that James refers to ($749 seems a bit steep), but I agree with the ideas in the summary as well as James' comments: end users are going to be doing some of their own "development", and we need to ensure that they have secure and functional tools to do so. BPMS, BRMS and mashups are key players here.

Intalio shows modeling and executing a process from a spreadsheet representation. Interestingly, Savvion also has a table view of process models now — for some, the spreadsheet is mightier than the flowchart.

I think that while I have no expectations that companies in the conference business will take my advice, I believe that focusing on content will actually get those turnstiles moving again. Its a crazy concept, but I think quality drives quantity in certain businesses, conferences included.
And I also think that part of the reason it is harder for a Gartner (and the like) to throw a good conference is because the audience is almost too broad – so many competing interests to represent that it is hard to get to the practical aspects. I understand that it is hard to change something that appears to be working (from a financial point of view, for the conference organizers), we’ve all witnessed rather dramatic conference failures where a dominant conference quite simply goes away over the course of a year or two…
