2005, the largest independent conference for XML technologies and
applications. XML 2005 is the latest in IDEAlliance's series of conferences

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

of products and services from leading vendors.
Scheduled
keynote speakers for the five-day program are David Campbell, Microsoft SQL

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."
