FIDX Meetings

Quote from the day: "Over the last several years, our FIDX meetings have focused on the technical work required to develop standards. Fortunately, the majority of that work is now completed and numerous companies are beginning to use the new standards. As a result, the FIDX committee is ready to expand it's scope beyond the drafting of new standards and begin focusing on the implementation of the standards throughout the industry. We look forward to your participation at the meeting." Ron Martell, FIDX Steering Committee Chair

The FIDX working group met March 19, 2004 at the Marriott Hotel, Greensboro Airport, Greensboro, NC.
