The first two days of the conference were actually a workshop with Eli Goldratt. The second two days are more like your regular conference with a number of speakers and parallel speaker tracks.
The first session today was a discussion on the the ways for TOC software to work within traditional IT, and it was led by Eli Schragenheim, a long time member of the TOC community and principal in Goldratt Schools.
The second day of the TOC ICO conference was another full day "upgrade workshop" with Eli Goldratt. He covered a Strategy & Tactics Tree for developing a mutually-beneficial collaboration between a manufacturer and a distributor. There were some other TOC tidbits throughout the day.

Peter Klein at Organizations and Markets has a thoughtful piece on seeming over-abundance of discussion of tacit knowledge. Interesting perspective.

Dave Munger at Cognitive Daily found a fun study about procrastination and deadlines. The short result: deadlines are effective means of reducing the Student Syndrome.
Kimberly Black has a post that suggests something about human psychology, "Remove my fear and get me as a life time customer." Dentists and KM may be closer than you think.
