CONFERENCE QUOTES: What do past Tri-XML attendees say about this
unique conference? (NEW)
Here is what attendees of prior years have to say about this unique,
affordable, world-class conference:
"The Tri-XML conference is a great place to learn about the applications
of XML, therefore helping to clear up the mystery surrounding this complex
topic. It is by far one of the most informative and well-executed XML
conferences available, and you can't beat the price!" (Suzanne Mescan,
Vasont)
"Tri-XML provides a comfortable and affordable learning opportunity for
XML users and would-be XML users. The atmosphere is casual, questions and
conversation are encouraged, and beginners are welcome. Presentations on a
variety of XML-related subjects are clearly labelled as being for
beginners, users, or experts." (B. Tommie Usdin, Mulberry Technologies)
"The Tri-XML Conference is a boon to the North Carolina Research Triangle,
offering an opportunity for scholars and developers to meet and explore
together the ground-breaking technology of XML. Coming from one of the
Triangle universities, I have the best of both worlds, the opportunity to
learn from other Triangle people working in XML technologies as well as
from visiting experts. Smaller, focused conferences like Tri-XML provide
an opportunity for intense and collective scrutiny of a technology by the
people who are developing it. The science hardens, new directions are
shaped, and the field advances. Plus, face-to face conferences are still
the best place to learn and network." (Dr. Ellen McDaniel, North Carolina
State University College of Engineering)
"The thing about the Tri-XML convention is, it showcases concrete
experiences with XML technology and makes the discussion accessible to a
lot more people than would otherwise be able to participate at national
conventions. It has everything... great speakers, vendor participation, an
excellent venue, and yet it still offers that grassroots appeal: a sense
that technology workers can actively take part." (Mitch Amiano, Agile
Markup Corp.)

(Co-presented by Innodata Isogen & The Rockley Group)
Pharmaceutical labeling content must not only meet the demands of the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration regulatory requirements, it must also meet
ever-changing global regulatory requirements. Standards like Structured
Product Labeling (SPL) and XML provide considerable benefits for
addressing global labeling issues. This informative, free one-hour webinar
will demonstrate how XML-based component level content can:
* address global labeling issues
* provide better control of content
* be reconfigured to meet multiple regulatory requirements
* significantly reduce localization costs
Date: Wednesday, April 13, 2005
Time: 12:00PM EDT, 9:00AM PDT, 17:00 GMT
Moderator: Dan Dube ? Director, Business Analysis, Innodata Isogen
Speaker: Ann Rockley ? President, The Rockley Group
