The annual Adobe FrameMaker Chautauqua will be held at the Hilton Austin Texas Airport hotel from November 8-10, 2006. The educational summit gathers FrameMaker creators together with technical users, top publishing industry professionals and innovative FrameMaker tools and training vendors.

Adobe FrameMaker combines the simplicity of word process authoring with the power of advanced layout capabilities and XML publishing, making it easier to re-purpose content and publish to multiple channels, including print, PDF, HTML, and XML.

The software includes long-document support and book management features, templates and rich formatting options, support for high-quality printing, integration of scalable vector graphics and Quadralay WebWorks Publisher 8.0 software to automatically create HTML versions of documents and books.

Highlighting this year’s program are speakers Don Day, Lead DITA Architect for IBM and Chair of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee and RJ Jacquez, Senior Technical Evangelist of Adobe. Keynote speakers also include Don Bridges, commercial tech docs manager at Data Conversion Laboratory and Bob Doyle, Technology Advisor for CM Professionals.

In addition, the conference will feature presentations from Leigh White of Misys Healthcare Systems, certified Adobe expert, technical trainer, and author Bernard Aschwanden and W. Eliot Kimber, (Dr. Macro) from Innodata Isogen, 25-year veteran of mark-up based writing and publishing, member of the XSL Formatting Objects subgroup of the XSL Working Group (W3C) and member of the DITA Technical Committee for OASIS Open.

“Attending this event is a great way to come to terms with how to use FrameMaker with XML, XSLT, DITA and other fast emerging trends and standards,” said Karl Matthews, Adobe’s Group Product Marketing Manager.

The conference host, Bright Path Solutions, develops structured XML content solutions and provides consulting and training services to organizations of all sizes. Pricing for the three-day event starts at $800 U.S. Visit conf.travelthepath.com for additional details or contact Bright Path Solutions at 1.919.244.8559 or info@travelthepath.com.
