About Balisage: The Markup Conference
Montréal in August has always been the place and time for serious markup geeks to meet. Balisage 2013 and the pre-conference symposium continue that tradition.
Balisage is an annual conference devoted to the theory and practice of descriptive markup and related technologies for structuring and managing information.
The conference takes its name from the French term for ‘markup’, in a friendly gesture towards the city of Montréal, where for years people interested in markup have met each August for informed technical discussion, occasionally impassioned debate, good coffee, and the incomparable ambience of one of North America's greatest cities. (Despite the Francophone name, however, conference sessions, events, and publications are in English.)
