The “SIA Research Management Conference” is being held September 28, 2006 at the New York Marriott Marquis, 1535 Broadway, New York, NY.

In our opinion at RIXML.org, this is one of the most important conferences held in the financial services industry since it addresses issues and topics directly related to Research creation and distribution.

RIXML.org represents the “standard’ for creation, tagging, distribution, and, retrieval of Research utilizing the powerful technology tool – XML. XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a W3C initiative that allows information and services to be encoded with meaningful structure and semantics that computer and humans can understand. XML is great for information exchange, and can easily be extended to include user-specified and industry-specified tags.

We will have representatives at out host table available to answer all of your questions about the organization, our technology, and, membership privileges. We will have descriptive literature, chances to “meet-and-greet” some of the senior people involved in RIXML.org, and, a special CD that will have:

• RIXML Level One specification

• RIXML User Guide

• RIXML Schema Version 2.2 specification

If you stop by and see us we also have a small token of our appreciation – a RIXML.org pen and holder!!

RIXML.org Executive Director, Michael Skutinsky Jr., will be a panel member along with Research professionals from: The Bond Market Association, JP Morgan Securities Inc., Raymond James Financial, Inc, S-2 Research, Inc., and, The TABB Group.

This session will address many of the issues and problems associated with current Research creation, distribution, and usage. RIXML.org plays a major role in all of these areas and can offer possible solutions to many of the problems that will be discussed.

RIXML.org currently has 20 Firms involved as Members – Sell-side, Buy-side, Vendors and Technology companies. They all have an active role in defining our XML standard, serving on working Committees, and creating innovative products based on the RIXML schema.
RIXML.org is an organization that is TOTALLY dedicated to the Research product and profession, and we want your Firm to consider membership!!
