[announce] Registration opens for XML 2005; Respected XML Fo
It`ll be a freezing cold July day in Georgia when my company has $1695.00 to
spare to send me to such a "conference."
<sigh>
I`ll do Tri-XML any day.

|ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 2005--Registration is now
|open for XML 2005, the largest independent conference for XML
|technologies and applications. XML 2005 is the latest in
|IDEAlliance`s series of conferences devoted to the Extensible Markup
|Language, a worldwide standard that enables data compatibility
|across different computing systems. It will be held November 14-18
|in Atlanta, Ga., USA.
|
|Experts, IT professionals and novices from around the world attend
|the XML Conferences to explore the latest technologies, applications
|and services that produce higher-quality data, increase production
|speed, and save money. This year`s event will feature nearly
|two- dozen tutorials, approximately 125 presentation and discussion
|sessions, interoperability demonstrations, and an exhibition of
|products and services from leading vendors.
|
|Scheduled keynote speakers for the five-day program are David
|Campbell, Microsoft SQL Server general manager for data engine and
|access technologies; Steven G. Harris, vice president of Oracle`s
|Java Platform Group; Jim Hendler, University of Maryland professor
|and director of semantic web and agent technology at the Maryland
|Information and Network Dynamics Laboratory; David Megginson,
|principal of Megginson Technologies, a leading XML consultancy; and
|Robert Picciano, vice president of data management for IBM
|Corporation.
|
|The source for everything XML
|
|XML 2005 has something for anyone interested or involved in XML,
|from introductory tutorials to case studies to technical and
|theoretical sessions. Select presentations are geared to distinct
|application areas, such as government, military, financial services,
|publishing, legal and pharmaceutical.
|
|"XML has gone through the hype phase to be an accepted and expected
|part of today`s technology infrastructure," says Lauren Wood, senior
|technical program manager at Sun Microsystems, Inc. and XML 2005
|Conference chair. "XML 2005 brings together experts, fellow
|professionals, and product vendors to give attendees the resources
|they need to transform data management within their organizations."
|
|Elaine Keagle, technical lead of the web services team for a county
|school system in the U.S., is a prime example of someone who put her
|XML Conference experience to immediate use.
|
|"My team used what I learned at the XML Conference to provide an
|entirely new plan of production for both the print and online
|versions of our course bulletin," she says. "The project has been a
|success in every aspect. It has cut down on production time, reduced
|errors, and allowed for multiple outputs from a single source. We
|marvel that in a span of a year we were able to complete such a
|successful project using technologies new to us."

I don`t think this particular conference is any more expensive
than conferences of similar quality. And I know evaluating the
quality of a conference is subjective, but one way you might go
about doing it is to actually take a minute to look through the
conference program and check the names of the presenters. I`m not
sure if you did that, but if you had, you might have noticed a few
names that I would guess you might be familiar with; for example:
Eve Maler, Norm Walsh, Tim Bray, David Megginson, C. M.
Sperberg-McQueen, Wendell Piez, Ken Holman, Bob Stayton, Tony
Coates, Bob DuCharme, Ronald Bourret, Sharon Adler, Mike
Champion, Henry Thompson, Josh Lubell,...
There are very few conferences that I know of that can put
together a roster of presenters like that. Part of the way that
the organizers manage to do it, I think, is by actually adequately
compensating their presenters for their time. Another way is by
developing a first-rate reputation over several years by
consistently having great presenters at their conferences.
If I were you, I think I`d count myself lucky to happen to be
living close enough to the conference location that you can
affordably fly (or even drive) to where it is being held. (Instead
of, say, living on the other side of International Date Line.)

I just now took a look at the page that lists fees for conference.
http://2005.xmlconference.org/registration
The registration fee is not $1695. As is the case with most
conferences of this kind, it looks there is a range of fees,
depending on what parts of the conference and tutorial sessions
you want to attend, and with academic discounts.
That $1695 figure is at the very top of the range, and is for late
registration for a pass that allows you to attend as many of the
tutorial sessions as you want, along with attending the conference.
For the record, I have no stake in this conference and no
connection at all with its organizers. I`m taking the time to post
this message because it really, really irks me to see somebody
using this list to post misleading information about something of
this kind -- selectively pulling the highest dollar figure you can
find from a page and waving it around as a way of telling other
people you think it`s too much money to spend on a conference.

All of that`s fine. And, Georgia is but a mere 10 hour drive down an
Interstate that is being rebuilt from one end to the other, and has been for
about a decade (if not longer). The list of speakers is luminous, indeed.
The facility is apparently first rate, too. All in all...
It`s still $1695.00.
