XML Guild

"XML" - It's a simple term, but behind it lies a lot of complexity. When you need help in getting the maximum value from XML technologies, where do you look? How do you know you are getting the most competent help available?

The XML Guild is a consortium of some of the best independent XML consultants in the world. Our members have extensive experience in XML and markup technologies. We are involved in the establishment of standards and best practices. We are authors of numerous books, articles and papers, and are well-known presenters and speakers.

The XML Guild currently has members in Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Ireland, the U.S.A., and the United Kingdom, all of whom are willing to work with customers in other locations.

The XML Guild is proud to be a co-sponsor of Balisage 2013 — The Markup Conference.

Balisage is a peer-reviewed annual English-language conference about the theory and practice of information management and interchange, especially in light of the central ideas of the XML family of markup languages. The Balisage conference is about the leading edge of the field; it appeals most strongly to those whose problems and/or solutions are near or beyond the state of the art. If the XML family of technologies is your passion and/or burden, or you need to gather information about the state of the art, or you want to move the state of the art forward, or both, you should consider participating. Many experts find it worthwhile to invest their time and effort, year after year, in Balisage.

Balisage 2013 runs 6-9 August in Montréal, Canada. The conference is in English, despite its Francophone name and venue ("Balisage" means "markup" in French). (In case you don't know: quite apart from Balisage, Montréal in August is a feast for the body, mind, and spirit. Consider staying for an extra day or two so you can enjoy it.)

Also, don't miss the pre-conference Symposium on Native XML User Interfaces" on 5 August 2013 in the same hotel.

We hope to see you there!
