"An Evening of SGML Roundtables"
Date: Tuesday, October 24th, 1995; 5:30 p.m.
Place: McGraw-Hill, Inc.
2nd Floor Conference Center
1221 Avenue of the Americas (lobby entrance off 49th Street)
Agenda: 5:30 Registration and Opening Remarks
5:45 Keynote Speaker: Dan Coyne, Innodata
6:45 SGML Topical (not "Tropical") Roundtables
Join us on October 24th for a series of roundtable discussions on SGML
special-interest topics. We'll start the evening off with a talk by Dan Coyne
about the the role SGML plays today and tomorrow in publishing and distributing
journals. Dan is General Manager of Publishing Services for Innodata, an
information conversion company located here in New York City. Dan will bring a
rich historical perspective to the future of SGML in the field of journal
publishing, where short turnaround cycles for hot information is the norm.
After Dan's talk, we'll divide up into roundtables to discuss topics of special
interest. The tables will be devoted to themes including SGML & the Web,
large-scale SGML composition and authoring in SGML. These will be moderated
free-flowing discussions to get your questions and opinions "on the table."
Upcoming Programs:
On November 14th, the word will be "object" as in "Object-Oriented." Bob
DuCharme of Research Institute of America will talk about the parallels between
traditional object-oriented programming concepts and SGML.
On December 12th, we'll have an SGML '95 review. Forum members who attended the
annual SGML conference will summarize the themes, hot topics, general wisdom
and best quotes for those who could not be there. (Even if you were there, plan
to attend anyway -- just to keep the speakers honest!)
