The event is intended to be of value to any person who has a background in the computer industry. Sessions will be available to those who are both beginner and experienced with XML technology.
The following table is an outline plan of the event. At this stage we are looking for presenters / workshop who can offer sessions. This table is a framework and not necessarily the final format of the event, and suggestions for improving this will be most welcome. The intention is not to be prescriptive, but to avoid the danger of all presenters all doing their own mini introduction to XML code, etc.
In the region of 120 attendees will be expected to attend this event.
The plan is to use the large auditorium, plus several other rooms, each of which may accommodate in region of 20 - 40 people, dependent upon the layout.
Event organiser is Steve Edwards. Steve may becontacted on

nature of your proposed presentation, including title, target audience, your name / company
/ email / telephone details. Proposals should take up no more than one side of A4 paper.
