Balisage relies on peer reviewers to maintain the quality of conference and symposium content. Applications for the Balisage Peer Review Panel are due by 15 March 2009. To apply, fill out the Peer Review Panel Application form.

Balisage IS an XML Conference. That is, it is a conference about what people are doing with XML, what they want to do with XML, what XML is, and what they want XML to be.

Calling it a "Markup Conference" is silly, and makes the event harder for interested people to find. The only markup that matters in 2008 is XML, and people are using XML for virtually everything they want to markup up.
