Rules Fest October 22 – October 24, 2008

The Dallas Rules Group (Dallas, TX) is organizing a major conference for all technical people involved in rule-based development.

This is not a "business rules" conference, nor is it a product trade show. This is a serious discussion on the technology of rule-based systems, their past and future. If you are a developer who is or will be using rule-engines in any capacity and you want to know how they work and how to use them properly, then this conference is for you.

The list of confirmed speakers is quite impressive. For more information, go to http://rulesfestregistration.dallasrulesgroup.org/ or contact James Owen jco@kbsc.com directly.

Cheers, -JM
