A vendor-independent, non-academic trade show for which I chair the XML track. Other tracks include
A peer-reviewed, academic conference. Generally a lot of fun.
This conference will focus on the current challenges in extending software to support a wider range of languages - languages of emerging markets and minority populations. It will explore how to make internationalization and localization more efficient even when extending support to languages with complex processing and rendering behavior.
Die W-JAX gehört zusammen mit der Schwesterkonferenz JAX zu den wichtigsten europäischen Events im Enterprise-Java-Bereich. Auch in diesem Jahr erhalten Sie wieder zahlreiche wertvolle Informationen über aktuelle Technologien und Lösungsmöglichkeiten für Ihre IT-Projekte.
Neben den Sessions und Power Workshops mit bekannten Vertretern der Java-Community bietet die W-JAX mit der ergänzenden Expo sowie zahlreichen Roundtable-Diskussionen und Social Events eine ideale Networking-Plattform für Architekten, Entwickler und Projektmanager.
Teilnehmer der W-JAX 2005 erhalten wertvolle Informationen zu den wichtigsten Java-Technologien und Programmiertechniken sowie strategische Entscheidungshilfen bei der Wahl ihrer Softwarearchitekturen. Einen Schwerpunkt bilden Erfahrungsberichte aus komplexen J2EE- und Integrationsprojekten – hier stehen Ihnen erfahrene Berater und Coaches Rede und Antwort und geben Tipps für die erfolgreiche Realisierung von Projekten.
XML 2005 is the largest independent XML conference, designed for professionals who use XML and related technologies. The conference attracts leading experts and practitioners from around the world to explore the entire universe of XML-based technologies, including web services, publishing, data integration, information management, and evolving applications.
Programming language plays an increasingly important role in the design and implementation of future XML processing systems. The PLAN-X workshop provides a forum where like-minded researchers from a range of communities — programming languages, databases, and document processing, etc. — can gather and exchange ideas.
The scope of the workshop includes both theoretical and practical research. We seek both mature work and preliminary descriptions of exciting work in progress. Example topics include -- but are not limited to -- the following:

A peer-reviewed, academic conference focusing on the semantic web and other W3C technologies.
A peer-reviewed, academic conference focusing on XML.
A peer-reviewed, academic conference. Generally a lot of fun. Just one warning: you do not want to stay in the conference hotel. The rooms are hideous.
Conference highlights include keynote speakers from Novell and Google, and a panel discussion with speakers from IBM, Ars Aperta and Sun Microsystems. Over the three days, the conference streams cover topics of interest to developers and users, newcomers and veterans alike. There will be a particular focus on this year on OpenOffice.org and Open Document Format (ODF), following ODF's ratification as the international standard for office documents (ISO 26300).
According to organizer Kurt Cagle, "I'm hoping this year to extend the conference's focus somewhat, looking increasingly at Open Graphics Standards in general, with an eye toward some of the more innovative (or at least hot) topics of the day, including XML GUI languages, XForms, X3D, Canvas, Flex and Lazlo, and so forth, as well as looking at traditional companies that are using SVG in interesting ways (such as Oracle's use of SVG in their latest database offerings)."
What can one say about a conference dedicated to open standards that hides the most important text on its web page in a graphic instead of using HTML and CSS? Maybe, "look elsewhere for advice"?
Anything and everything to do with Unicode.

Web Intelligence (WI) has been recognized as a new direction for scientific research and development to explore the fundamental roles as well as practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (e.g., knowledge representation, planning, knowledge discovery and data mining, intelligent agents, and social network intelligence) and advanced Information Technology (IT) (e.g., wireless networks, ubiquitous devices, social networks, and data/knowledge grids) on the next generation of Web-empowered products, systems, services, and activities. It is one of the most important as well as promising IT research fields in the era of Web and agent intelligence.
The 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'06) will be jointly held with the 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT'06) and the 6th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM'06) for providing synergism among the three research areas. It will provide opportunities for technical collaboration beyond that of previous conferences. The three conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend workshops, sessions and tutorials across the three conferences.

According to Bruce Eckel, "SD is best described as a teaching conference. There are half-day and full-day pre-conference tutorials, and during the conference all the talks are 1.5 hours long (I created both the C++ and Java tracks for the SD conference and chaired them for many years, and so I helped evolve this structure). All the subjects are intended to be well-established on the acceptance curve; this is a commercial conference and they want each topic to have a strong draw. SD is a good place to go in order to develop expertise, almost as if it were a multi-subject professional development seminar."
A peer-reviewed, academic conference focusing on XML.
A one-day conference organized by XML UK.
Starting with Sean McGrath's opening keynote, XML UK have lined up some expert and entertaining speakers covering both strategic and technical aspects of how innovations in XML and Web technology are being used in the publishing and content industries.
Pricing: £75 (XML UK members); £125 (non-members); £50 (student members)

4th International Workshop on XQuery Implementation, Experience and Perspectives. Topics of interest include the following
This year XML Prague is calling for submissions for presentations running 30 minutes, on the following topics.
The curriculum caters for all levels and is split into three main tracks: 'Hands-on Introduction', 'Technical' and 'Applications'. The speakers will explore the latest trends in these technologies and illustrate how they can be applied in specific industry settings. Examples of this year's seminars include: Content and Knowledge with XML; Trends and Transients in XML; and XSLT, XSL-FO and XQuery.

A peer-reviewed, academic conference focusing on the semantic web and other W3C technologies.
The main theme of the conference is "One World, One Web". The conference will explore how Web access is moving from the desktop to cell phones and TV screens, and how most users are moving from passive browsing experiences on the Internet to active participation in building Web communities.
Authors attending the event are invited to report their original research covering the implications of ubiquitous access to the Web through the "three screens" – computer, phone, and TV – and how such Web access will change the way we live, work, and interact in the future.
Topics of discussion will include Browsers and UI, Data Mining, Mobility, Multimedia, Performance and Scalability, Search, Security and Privacy, Semantic Web, Social Networks and Web 2.0, Technology for Developing Regions, and Web Engineering. The conference will also feature workshops, tutorials, plenary speeches by renowned speakers, and tracks devoted to developers and to recent W3C activities that are of interest to the community.

I will probably eventually design a form for submission of trade show listings; but until I do if you would like a trade show listed here, please email some information about it to elharo@metalab.unc.edu. You should keep your description brief and to the point. You should definitely include dates, locations, email addresses, phone numbers, web pages and pricing. You may also include highlights of the conference and featured speakers or exhibitors. Use the examples above for ideas.
Please do not include complete listings of everyone and everything that will be at your show. The more extraneous hype I have to remove, the longer it will take me to list your show. Anybody who sends me more than a couple of paragraphs about their show will receive some propaganda from me about my commercial web development and hosting services to assist you in setting up a Web site for your show. In other words, this page is merely a calendar for the benefit of the interested public. It is not a substitute for your own advertising, on the web or elsewhere.
