Microsoft Research and the ConferenceXP Project Team hosted a two-day ConferenceXP workshop for developers on Thursday, June 16, 2005 and Friday, June 17, 2005 in Redmond, Washington. Additionally, we offered a one-day ConferenceXP pre-workshop on Wednesday, June 15, 2005 for those new to Microsoft® .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET development on Microsoft Windows®.

The ConferenceXP workshop brought together ConferenceXP researchers and collaborators to discuss the current status of and future directions for ConferenceXP.
