The list of presentations included several invited lectures. Dr. Jay Liebowitz gained wide experience in knowledge management within NASA/GSFC, John Hopkins University, and the University of Maryland. Recently he was ranked one of the top 10 knowledge management researchers out of 11,000 worldwide. He talked about "Exploring Knowledge Management Methodologies: Present and Future Trends." Dr. Klaus North is a professor of International Management at Wiesbaden Business School and the founder of the German Knowledge Management Association. His book "Knowledge Oriented Business Management" is the leading textbook on knowledge management in the German language. He talked about "Knowledge Management Approaches and Practices – An Overview."

ESOC is located at Darmstadt, Germany, and is an establishment of the European Space Agency (ESA) responsible for the operations of the ESA satellites. The conference is the third one of a series, which was initiated by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2007. The conference was co-chaired by Roberta Mugellesi-Dow of ESOC and Jeanne Holm of JPL. However, this 2010 conference was the first one outside of the United States and it was organised by the ESOC Knowledge Management Core Team, composed of representatives of the main technical domains and responsible for guiding and promoting the knowledge management initiative as well as developing a knowledge management strategy for the Directorate.
