Hi 
Dee,

            
Yes indeed, we are still in need of a speaker. The theme of our conference is 
"Integrating XML into your Business" and we are trying to get a balance between 
the theory and the practical by including technical presentations and actual 
case studies. We have no shortage of material/presenters for RosettaNet, but for 
some strange reason, we are experiencing great difficulty in getting any 
practical information on ebXML. There is a lot of interest within Edifice on the 
future direction of ebXML, but there is also a lot of confusion, particularly in 
the light of the recent statements from Jon Bosak, Peter Wilson and Ray 
Walker.

 

Edifice represents the majority of the European 
electronics industry and the conferences are a great way to evangelise 
developments and initiatives for eBusiness and to spread the adoption. This is 
evidenced by the fact that the Edifice  RosettaNet User/Deployment group is 
the only group that is actually doing any deployments of RosettaNet in 
Europe.

 

Thanks 
for your assistance

 

Kind Regards, 

Alan Sture

Hi Alan,

I have not heard back yet from  my contacts regarding this speaking opportunity. Are you still in 
need of a speaker? 

Regards,

Dee

Dee,

  
        Thanks for your reply. As 
  stated to Carol in the emails below, the Edifice conferences usually attract 
  up to 40 people. At the last meeting in September, there were over 30 
  attendees which was very encouraging in the wake of the terrible events of 
  September 11, and several members having to cancel their travel at the last 
  minute.

  
 

  
There is  a good cross-section of job functions, from 
  Purchasing/Procurement managers and Business Process managers to Electronic 
  Business directors, technical implementers and Solutions 
  Providers.

  
 

  
We 
  would appreciate a presentation of 1 hour, including Questions and 
  Answers, to include both technical and business issues. The Edifice members 
  are no strangers to the technical side, but as I said in my initial request, 
  we are interested in XBDL (and how it fits/competes with UBL in the light of 
  Jon Bosak's recent email), and also the progress of actual ebXML 
  implementations, and what the future direction is.

  
 

  
If 
  there is any more information that you require, please do not hesitate to 
  ask.

  
 

  

  
Kind Regards, 

  
Alan Sture

Hi 
  Alan,

  
I am Carol Geyer's assistant and I would be happy to assist you 
  in finding an appropriate speaker. 
  Before I can respond, I just have a few questions: 
  
1. How many attendees do you expect 
  at the EDIFICE 
  conference?

  
2. What kind of attendees 
  do you expect (titles, job responsibilities)? 
  

  
3. Length of presentation? Technical or business focused 
  presentation?

  
Looking forward to hearing from 
you.

  
Regards,

Hi 
  Carol,

  
              
  In  light of  the new 
  developments surrounding ebXML, particularly XBDL and the progress of 
  actual implementations,  I am asking once again if you could recommend a 
  speaker to attend the next Edifice conference in Nantes, France on November 
  27-29. 

  
 

  
We 
  are particularly interested in seeing how these new projects advance the 
  Core Components work from the earlier phase of ebXML and how the results will 
  provide "jump start kits" for adoption. 

  
 

  
As 
  before, T&L expenses can be covered by Edifice.

  
 

  

  
Kind Regards, 

  
Alan Sture
