Being held in conjunction with the AHR Expo and ASHRAE's Winter Meeting, The XML Symposium is a day-long, high-level introduction to the most important enabling technology for the future of integrated and intelligent buildings with a specific focus on the HVAC industry.

The subject matter, XML and Web services, is widely used by the IT community and many other industry groups who desire to leverage the Internet as a connectivity and automation vehicle. These technologies bring to fruition the convergence of building systems and the IT infrastructure, and they are drastically changing the buildings industry as they enable cooperation between disparate approaches to open systems.
