ANNOUNCE: FRAMEMAKER CONFERENCE - November 7-9, 2005 (Raleigh, NC USA)
Mark your calendars for the FrameMaker 2005 Chautauqua!
Adobe Systems Inc. is well represented as Karl Matthews and Michael Hu
present on Adobe FrameMaker, an award winning, enterprise-class authoring
and publishing solution. Three full days of presentations and hands-on
time include featured speakers Bernard Aschwanden (PublishingSmarter) and
Lynne A. Price (Text Structure), along with expert FrameMaker users.
In addition to great, real-world presentations, this conference provides
attendees with the chance to meet and mingle with some of the best and
brightest FrameMaker luminaries. Networking opportunities and presenter
"Q&A" during break times are two of the benefits of attending. Door
prizes add to the fun, with opportunities to win a large computer monitor,
Apple iPods, technology books, and other prizes.
"FrameMaker is used by a variety of companies, for many different types of
documents. This conference is an opportunity to hear from real users how
they have implemented complex systems, overcome bumps along the way, and
made very involved processes work." said Kay Ethier (Bright Path
Solutions). Presentations use FrameMaker and Structured
FrameMaker/FrameMaker+SGML. Several FrameMaker versions are represented in
the presentations.
The conference will be held November 7-9, 2005 at the McKimmon Conference
Center in Raleigh, NC near the Raleigh/Durham International Airport (RDU).
Pricing for all three days of events starts at US$695--early bird discount

Immersive Design's IPA leverages 3-D engineering data to create
interactive 3-D PDF files and web pages. This kind of presentation can
dramatically improve documentation clarity, reduce assembly time, and
squash maintenance mistakes. And the ease of use trounces flipping through
a stack of static 2-D drawings and pages of instructions. For examples and
evaluation copies of IPA, visit the Immersive Design, Inc. Web site, http://www.immdesign.com
Welcome--and thanks to--Immersive Design, Inc. as a new TECHWR-L Annual
Sponsor!
We are asking for feedback to help us determine the best (if any) value in

the survey. The short 10 question survey will help us set the direction
of further work.
