W3C to Participate in SVG Open 2011

Developers and designers are excited by the ability to use SVG in all modern browsers. W3C joins other sponsors to help with SVG Open 2011, the 9th international conference on Scalable Vector Graphics, 17-20 October 2011. This year, Microsoft Corporation will be hosting the conference at their New England Research and Development (NERD) Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. SVG Open provides an opportunity for designers, developers and implementers to learn about SVG, and share ideas, experiences, products, and strategies. Members of the W3C SVG Working Group, including W3C Team members Chris Lilley and Doug Schepers, will be attending and presenting at the conference. The SVG Working Group will also brief attendees on recent developments around the SVG specification, including SVG2 and integration with CSS and HTML. The conference includes a day of workshops. The deadline for presentation abstracts and course outlines has been extended through 15 May. Learn more about the W3C Graphics Activity.
