This DITA/TechComm Conference is about users... About the technical needs that are growing as structured documentation makes major inroads. DITA and XML are storming the gates of technical communications. The Adobe Technical communications suite is geared towards technical writers. By combining the ideas of both the technical sides of DITA and XML with the publishing needs of technical communicators that are met by Adobe systems, we feel that this conference provides two focused technical days (DITA/XML) followed by two focused publishing and communications days.
