XBRL International holds conferences regularly to discuss the use of XBRL in electronic financial reporting and filing. Recently a conference was held in Brussels and the presentations and results are posted on its website. More recently, a conference was held in Boston on the theme of Better, Faster, Smarter Business Reporting Using XBRL. eXtensible Business Reporting Language is a tagging methodology based on XML which promises to revolutionize financial reporting - bringing it into the age of technology and making possible the timely reporting of data elements as well as financial statements and other financial documents. The results of the Boston conference should be on its site (http://www.xbrl.org/PastEvents/) in a few days.
