Hi, This is a final call for speakers for X-Pubs 2007. This year's conference is shaping up to be even larger and more successful than the extremely well received X-Pubs 2006. Speakers receive free entry to the two-day conference, and will be speaking on the same bill as global thought leaders from the Rockley Group and IBM.
Speakers already booked for 2007: * Scott Abel - http://www.thecontentwrangler.com/ * Emma C Hamer - http://www.hamer-associates.ca * Steve Manning, Co-Author of "Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content Strategy" - http://www.rockley.com and many more... 2007 theme: "How did they do it?" Submission Deadline: Notification of intent - ASAP Speaker bios/summary (~200 words each) - Feb 28, Full presentation - May 15 Venue: Royal Berkshire Conference Centre, Reading, England (see http://www.x-pubs.com, "Location" for more) Submission guidelines: This conference will take a look at real customer stories, about currently rolled out XML solutions, which are starting to evolve their usage over time. X-Pubs 2006 showed us that the world is ready to start going beyond explanation of new XML technologies and benefits, and start discussing how to run a successful XML implementation, and drill into the detail that leads an implementation to delivering those benefits and their return on investment. In light of this, X-Pubs 2007 presentation proposals must be: * Be focussed on either the technical or business aspects of an *actual* implementation * Customer examples / case studies should be presented by, or jointly with, the end-solution client themselves, not just by the vendor We also welcome: * Educational, conceptual or "thought-leading" oriented presentations, i.e., not a commercial sales pitch * We still strongly encourage that conceptual or thought-leading presentations be delivered as much as possible in the context of, and with specific references to, a specific project involving XML (DITA, of course, and SGML if it's really an interesting one). Actual clients need not be co-presenting in this instance. Contact: http://www.x-pubs.com / info at x-pubs.com +44(0)208 722 8400 / From North America 011 44 208 722 8400 Regards Mark Poston
