Taxonomy Boot Camp 2026

Taxonomy Boot Camp—celebrating its 21st year—is the world’s leading conference dedicated to exploring the successes, challenges, methodologies and products for taxonomies. Join us in Washington, DC this November 16 - 17 to share your experiences, network with peers, and get incredible insight on taxonomies, ontologies, folksonomies, tagging mechanisms and other techniques for organizing information at this one-of-a-kind event.

Taxonomy Boot Camp is designed for everyone involved with taxonomies, from those new to the field to seasoned experts (and everyone in between). Beginner sessions cover the nuts and bolts, while more advanced sessions give experienced practitioners insight into how others have evolved their approaches. Hear case studies, how-to sessions, and practical talks on taxonomy tools and methods, and cutting-edge developments in the field.

Taxonomy Boot Camp is also part of KMWorld 2026, which is comprised of five closely integrated events: KMWorld 2025, Enterprise Search & Discovery, Text Analytics Forum, Enterprise AI World and Taxonomy Boot Camp. If you're looking to develop a comprehensive enterprise strategy that incorporates search within a broader knowledge management, content management, or collaboration framework, and want to maximize the potential of taxonomies, text analytics, and AI, be sure to register for the Platinum Pass to gain access to all FIVE events!

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with colleagues, peers, and experts, and discover how successful taxonomy building and management can transform both your organization and your career!

Taxonomies are all about creating structures that bring data and information to life. Taxonomy Boot Camp is the only conference dedicated to taxonomy building and management. Join us as we explore the successes, challenges, and methods of putting taxonomies to work for your organization.
