Dear Attendees,
This 16th XBRL International Conference on “Convergence, Communication and Interactive Data” represents a milestone in the adoption of Interactive Data and the use of XBRL technologies across the globe and here in North America. Interactive Data is now a reality and is in production around the world. We have reached the tipping point and this is the event that will enable you and your peers to examine the best practices in utilizing Interactive Data to communicate business information and to collaborate on the creation of an integrated standard in business reporting.
The time is now for:
- CFOs & Controllers to educate their Investor Relations & Corporate Communications teams on leveraging Interactive Data as a means to enhance communications with analysts, investors and regulators.
- Investors & Analysts to learn more about Interactive Data tools and how they can benefit from them.
- Government agencies to learn how they will save time and money by utilizing Interactive Data for internal and external reporting.
This is the forum designed specifically for you and your peers to network and learn:
- How Interactive Data improves the overall quality, timeliness and accessibility of business information.
- Why Interactive Data improves the flow of business information between the publishers of data (e.g., management of public and private companies, government agencies) and those who rely on and consume this data (e.g., analysts, investors, lenders, other government agencies and/or regulators).
- What sophisticated, user friendly, interactive data tools exist today and are currently being built by technology vendors to help management, investors, analysts and regulators to more accurately analyze business information.
I encourage you to take this opportunity to explore Vancouver, my home town and one of the most beautiful cities in the world, surrounded by water on three sides and nestled alongside the Coast Mountain Range. Vancouver is home to spectacular natural scenery and a bustling metropolitan core, and boasts one of the mildest climates in Canada. I look forward to see you here!
Sincerely,
