Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) for the Modern Knowledge Worker
Join us for a transformative handson workshop on Personal Knowledge Management (PKM), designed specifically to empower developers, architects, and knowledge workers alike to master information in this information age. Based on Tiago Forte's Building a Second Brain methodology and implemented using the Logseq PKM application, this course aims to equip attendees with the strategies, tools, and insights to streamline their knowledge management, increase productivity, and stimulate creativity. Attendees will learn to construct a personal knowledge graph, effectively annotate and reference digital assets, manage tasks, journal for success, leverage templates, and much more. The ultimate goal is to create a personalized system that enables you to instantly find or recall everything you know and learn.
Throughout this fullday, handson workshop, you will be guided to apply the concepts and practices learned to build your own personal knowledge graph. By the end of the session, you will have a comprehensive system to manage your knowledge effectively, enabling you to spend less time searching for notes or lost information and more time utilizing what you know and learn.
This workshop isn't just about learning new concepts or tools; it's about transforming your relationship with information and your productivity. The skills and practices you will learn are universally applicable, irrespective of the tools you use. We will show you how these methods work in Logseq, but the principles can be adapted to other platforms as well.
Join us for this transformative journey, and experience a significant shift in how you manage and utilize your knowledge, leading to increased productivity, creativity, and overall wellbeing in your personal and professional life.
Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your goals. We look forward to seeing you at the workshop!
About Michael Carducci
Michael Carducci spent years learning to see things as they actually are; first as a magician, then as a software architect, now as both simultaneously. And somehow that’s not even the whole story.
He’s the author of Mastering Software Architecture (Apress, 2025) and is currently writing The Semantic Layer. He has spent over 25 years following interesting problems; through roles from individual contributor to CTO and back again, across industries and continents.
As a speaker, he applies the same toolkit he uses in close-up magic: attention, misdirection, timing, storytelling, and the instinct to take the long way around when that’s where the truth lives. Audiences at hundreds of conferences across four continents have described his talks as the kind that change how you think about a problem rather than just what you know about it.
He also makes YouTube videos about technology and curiosity with his wife Kate, because some ideas are too important (or too interesting!) to leave only in conference rooms.
