The 17th XBRL International Conference and Expo is co-hosted by XBRL International, Inc. and the XBRL-EU Jurisdiction and is a jointly organized event with the Netherlands Taxonomy Project conference: “Standard Business Reporting in Action.” The conference will offer the unique opportunity for visibility to not one but two groups of conference attendees under one roof and will be the largest event executed by XBRL International.

Business Executives and Finance Professionals will participate in unique workshops and forums to hear leading financial industry experts speak on:

• How governments are requiring XBRL for business reporting and how financial analysts, regulators, accounting professionals, and technologists are collaborating and using XBRL to solve complex business problems and issues.
• What tools and cost-effective solutions that can be used to help organizations use the power of XBRL to enable investors, management, analysts and regulators to create interactive data, access the business information they want and analyze in a reliable format that they can easily use.
• Why Interactive Data greatly improves the way in which business information is created, communicated and consumed to help investors, management, analysts and regulators increase the access and accuracy of business information to make quicker, better and more accurate decisions.
