Montr嶧l in August has always been the place and time for serious
markup geeks to meet. "Balisage 2009" and the "International
Symposium on Processing XML Efficiently" continue the tradition.

Balisage is a peer reviewed conference designed to meet the needs
of markup theoreticians and practitioners who are pushing the
boundaries of the field. It's all about the markup: how to create
it; what it means; hierarchies and overlap; modeling; taxonomies;
transformation; query, searching, and retrieval; presentation and
accessibility; making systems that make markup dance (or dance
faster to a different tune in a smaller space) - in short,
changing the world and the web through the power of marked-up
information.
