XMPie Users’ Group Prepares for First Annual Conference

NEW YORK CITY—NOVEMBER 29, 2006—The XMPie Users Group (www.xmpieusers.org) will kick off the new year with the inaugural XMPie Users’ Group Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV beginning January 19 at the Westin Casuarina Las Vegas Hotel, Casino and Spa.

The one-and-a-half-day event incorporates a comprehensive program of activities and open discussion forums encompassing both a technology oriented curriculum and a marketing and business development track. Designed as an interactive forum, XMPie staff and XMPie users will be discussing the latest variable data publishing technology, trends, and best practices.

Jacob Aizikowitz, President of XMPie and Users’ Group board member stated, “The conference is intended to provide members with the most up to date and relevant technical information, directly from XMPie developers, while at the same time giving users the opportunity to network with each other and learn how their peers are implementing Cross Media marketing campaigns by using XMPie solutions in new and innovative ways.”

Members will be afforded the opportunity to learn different strategies for leveraging XMPie technology through case studies and best practices presented by Users’ Group members from a variety of backgrounds, disciplines, and market segments. They will also be able to provide XMPie developers with direct feedback, get early exposure to new product plans, and network with their peers during this highly interactive event. Industry experts will be in attendance to share their perspectives on the rapidly evolving world of multichannel business communications.

XMPie Users’ Group President, Stefan Augusston, said, “The ultimate objective for this conference is to ensure that the XMPie user community gains an improved understanding of the capabilities of XMPie software and the know-how to drive profitability for their businesses.”

The Users’ Group membership base continues to grow at an impressive rate since it was launched less than two months ago, just prior to Graph Expo ’06 in Chicago.
