The PoEM conferences contribute to establishing a dedicated forum where the use of EM in practice is addressed by bringing together researchers, users and practitioners. The main focus of PoEM is EM methods, approaches, and tools, and how they are used in practice. More specifically the goals of the conference are to further a better understanding of the practice of EM and improve the theory behind the practice, contributing to improved EM practice and to the sharing of knowledge.

PoEM 2010 will be the 3rd IFIP WG 8.1 working conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modelling. It follows the success of PoEM 2008 and 2009, which attracted over 50 participants from all over the world, representing both industry and academia. This indicates that Enterprise Modelling (EM) has gained substantial of popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. The interactive format of the conference sparked constructive interaction between research and practice. The target for PoEM 2010 is to further strengthen this interaction by organising a collaborative working session within the conference program.

PoEM is a highly interactive event. The conference will be organised at a venue that stimulates discussion and open exchange of ideas and experiences. In addition to highly interactive paper sessions the event will include a number of parallel think-tank sessions focusing on various topics, aiming for further development of issues and directions shared between practice and academia.
