Learn from the leaders

Many of you are well into your DITA implementations. Some of you are wrapping up and reaping the benefits. Some of you have a way to go to achieve maximum benefit and have the end in sight. But some of you are just starting down the path with anticipation and perhaps some anxiety and might find a little sage advice helpful. This panel discussion brings leaders in implementation from all 3 categories, wrapping up, in process, and just starting, front and center to share their experiences in planning and executing. Please join us to discuss where DITA is at Akamai Technologies, a leading technology company, United States Pharmacopeia Convention, a Standards Development Organization, and Graco, an industrial manufacturing company. There will be plenty of good information shared and plenty of time for Q&A.

What can the audience expect to learn?

Leveraging the experience of others should make your project less problematic and go smoother.
