blogging, wikis, user-generated content, multimedia,
experience design, interaction design, podcasting, YouTube,
AJAX, RSS, the Semantic Web, and XML syndication, DITA,
S1000D, controlled vocabularies, structured authoring,
folksonomies, taxonomies, custom-centric content management,
and more!
The workshops, presentations, and roundtable discussions we
have lined up for you are lead by the best and brightest
practitioners in our industry. Each of the 40+ presenters
has committed to providing you with a top-notch educational
experience loaded with practical information that you can
use when you return to work. Our keynote speaker, angel
investor and structured content guru Salim Ismail, will
deliver an exciting and thought-provoking message about the
future of the XML publish/subscribe model of content
delivery and its impact on the way we work today and in the
near future.
And, if you're interested in tools and technologies, you'll
