SYMPOSIUM BOOK TABLE
Monday, 25 April - Tuesday, 26 April
There is a growing body of books that feature technical and executive-level information on OASIS Standards and specifications. The Symposium Book Table will showcase these books at a display in the registration area. This is not a book sale, but an opportunity to give attendees a first-hand look at the range of available titles. A handout listing all books, including information on purchasing options, will be provided. Books will be on display for two days during the Symposium and raffled off to attendees at the reception following the AGM.
Authors, publishers, or collectors interested in donating books should contact
events@oasis-open.org by 1 April.
