Joel, I'm sorry that you feel the GCA XML 2001 Conference will smell of big money and graphic artists. I assure you that will not be the case. With Lauren Wood serving as conference chair, Jon Bosak, and Michael Sperberg-McQueen on the planning committee, the program will be of the highest quality content.The conference is being re-formatted to include a number of "town hall" meetings, providing opportunity for attendee participation in extended sessions. Late-breaking technology sessions will highlight the latest developments from the vendor community. And a number of other changes are being instituted to enhance the event for both the developer and the user community. GCA is a non-profit organization, unlike most of the other organizations running XML events. GCA is not an association of big money or graphic artists, but rather the membership is made up of corporate publishers, academic institutions, vendors, etc. The income from events does not go into deep pockets, but rather back into the industry for development of standards and specifications and support of a variety of industry initiatives. I would suggest you take a look at the program in early September when it is posted to the event web site: www.xmlconference.org If you have any further questions, please contact me.
