About the Users Group Meeting:
The First Annual VoiceXML Forum Users Group Meeting invites individuals and companies who have an interest in VoiceXML technology to gather with VoiceXML industry leaders to share issues, knowledge, and information about one of the fastest growing technologies in the telephony business. This special event will be held the day after the closing session of AVIOS 2001 and at the same venue. The intended audience is application developers; platform and service vendors; technology consultants and analysts; enterprise IT and call center managers; and executives. The Users Group meeting is the first person-to-person education and networking opportunity sponsored by the VoiceXML Forum since it issued the VoiceXML 1.0 specification in March 2000. One year later, the industry has blossomed, and this meeting provides a chance to reflect on what has been accomplished, and where things are headed.

The program will begin with plenary addresses from VoiceXML leaders, and then split into two tracks: the Executive Briefing Track, and the Technology Methods Track. In the Executive Briefing Track, attendees develop an understanding of the business aspects of the VoiceXML industry and gain rudimentary knowledge of the technology involved. The Technology Methods Track explores detailed technical issues surrounding VoiceXML products, services, and applications. It necessarily assumes its participants are already familiar with the basics of the VoiceXML 1.0 language and seek an in-depth technical discussion.

The Users Group Meeting will also provide two networking opportunities. A "Birds of a Feather" luncheon will give attendees a chance to talk one-on-on with industry experts about specific areas of interest. The "Networking Reception," to be held at the end of the day, will be a gathering place for informal business and technical discussions, as well as an opportunity to view poster displays by VoiceXML Promoters and Sponsors of their products and services.
