XML Dev Day schedule

A fine assortment of technical presentations is in store for
participants in XML Developers Day (Le Centre Sheraton Hotel,
Montreal, Thursday, August 21). In fact, the "day" has had to be
extended into the evening to accommodate a wealth of reports from
early implementors of the new Web technology. This is going to be a
can't-miss event for anyone hoping to play a significant role in the
coming revolution.

Registration for XML Developers Day can be made through the page for
the 4th International HyTime Conference:

http://www.gca.org/conf/hytime/hytime97.htm

Participants new to XML should note that in addition to the many
interesting presentations scheduled for the HyTime Conference (August
19-20), a tutorial on XML will be given on Monday, August 18 in the
same location.
