“Reducing Reporting Burden with XBRL: a Catalyst for Better Regulation”

Dear XBRL International Friends and Conference Attendees:

On behalf of XBRL International Inc., XBRL France and the conference planning committee, I would like to welcome you to the 19th XBRL International conference where you will learn how interactive data is improving transparency in business and financial reporting around the world. We have a great event planned with the theme “Better Reporting with XBRL: a Catalyst for Better Regulation”.

This year’s International conference is hosted by XBRL France in cooperation with XBRL Europe at Le Méridien Montparnasse Conference Center in Paris, France. The conference will be highlighted with influential keynote speakers representing worldwide governments, financial institutions, projects and organizations. This conference is designed to provide real world examples and demonstrations of how XBRL is improving transparency & reducing the reporting burden around the world in the six interactive Special Interest Sessions.

I also welcome you to Paris, the capital of France and the country’s largest city. Paris is one of the world’s leading business and cultural centres, and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world’s major global cities. I hope you will take some time to enjoy the sights and sounds of the city while you are here. Our gala dinner, scheduled for Wednesday night, provides you one opportunity. Join us on the Seine for an insider’s view of beautiful Paris.

I would like to thank all those who have helped put this event together: the XBRL International staff, XBRL France, XBRL Europe, members of the conference planning committee, track chairs, and presenters. They all devote a lot of time and effort to organizing this event. Special thanks to our conference sponsors who contribute to the success of the 19th XBRL International Conference.

I look forward to welcoming you to France!

Kind regards,
