"Xplor opened a whole new world for me of knowledge-based professionals and solution-based vendor partners. Each member has passion for our industry and is dedicated to sharing their unique talents with our peer Xplor community. Together we are a knowledge force to be reckoned with. Our companies and government agencies, in turn, reap substantive rewards in enhanced production operations, streamlined processes, increased staff skills and motivational levels, plus greater ROI. Your investment in Xplor membership today will return itself many times over."

"Yeah, I'm the go to person here. Only because I have my Xplor contacts to get questions answered! There have been many times I have been asked a question, and was able to answer a question because I remembered someone in the Xplor Group who talked about it at some meeting - either locally or at Global.

And I guess the big thing is I got my job here at Moore Wallace DCS/RR Donnelley because they knew I was looking, had the EDP certification, and would be able to solve their problem. Guess it worked - I am still here!

Seriously, I wouldn't be here without Xplor! KEEP ON DOING IT!"

"The learnings, knowledge, network and industry insights that I've derived from my membership of Xplor have enabled me to develop a document strategy for American Express that saves the company over $1 million annually, raised our statementing web site to number one in Credit Card Monitor's US ratings and earned my team the American Express Chairman's Premier Award in 2004."

"I just wanted to take time to thank you for all that you did to get all of us from Clemson to the Xplor Conference. Getting to go to that conference was an amazing experience, and I know that without your efforts, there was no way for this to happen. As a graduating senior, I felt that I had received a really great overview of the industry through classes and internships, but this conference really showed me how much more there was to the industry than I had ever thought.

But more important than the exhibits themselves were the people. It was wonderful meeting people from the industry in so many varied positions, with so many different outlooks. This is by far the most valuable experience: getting to not only network, but learn from people that had points of view that were outside of what I had experienced during my internships. All of the people that I met were incredibly knowledgeable about their fields and the industry overall, and very supportive of me and the rest of the students. It was really amazing to me that so many people were so eager to talk to each of us and share what they could.

Again, I had an fantastic time in Miami, and I definitely look forward to attending future Xplor events.

Thanks again so much for all of your hard work! "

"As a rather 'old-timer' in attending Xplor Global events I more than most remember the start point; the exciting heyday when thousands flocked to events; the difficult times when Global influences created major impacts; recover times and times of change. Entering Xplor 2006 Document Exchange in conjunction with GOA in Miami was something of a new experience turning the clock back to those early days when were pioneering in delivering educational content to the industry. There was refreshing feel about the event that not only addressed the 'typical' Xplor member's requirements but also started to address the whole market convergence of digital and traditional web-press. Having the 'multiple' events - PDF, XML) under the Xplor banner was a new experience and one which further reinforced Xplor's vision and recognition that this was now the changing face of the market. I am certain, as we had in the beginning; there is a need to create the people skills we must have to make our business a success and what better organisation to facilitate the education of these hybrid skills than Xplor International through its Global presence.."
