DITAWriter Speaking at DITA Europe 2014
I have the honour of being the co-keynote speaker along with JoAnn Hackos at the DITA Europe 2014 conference happening in Munich, Germany on November 18-19. We’ll be speaking about The Challenges of DITA Adoption in Europe. I plan on presenting my latest survey on the state of DITA adoption—those who attended the IXIASOFT User Conference back in September will have got a preview of some of the material I will be talking about—focusing in particular on trends and patterns I have observed in the companies that have adopted DITA in Europe. I’ve run across some interesting findings and I hope to share a few of them here prior to the conference.

There are a lot of interesting-looking talks at this conference, and some of the ones I have already penciled in to my calendar include:

Then there’s the whole day devoted to working with the DITA-OT immediately following the conference, featuring IXIASOFT’s own Leigh White who will presenting on “PDFs from the DITA Open Toolkit: The Easy and the Not So Easy“. While I’d like to think that I am fairly conversant with most aspects of DITA, that’s not the case when it comes to working with output, so am looking forward to the intensive one-day workshop on this.

Am very much looking forward to this conference and I hope to see some of my readership there!
