GIPS Standards Conference and Workshop
The
GIPS Standards Annual Conference is scheduled for 25-26
September 2008 in Boston. This year's conference will cover key topics in
the performance measurement industry and preview the implications of the
proposed changes to the GIPS standards. Last year's conference sold out
and space is limited, so register early.
A GIPS Standards Interactive Workshop in Boston precedes the annual conference and is scheduled for 24 September. The workshop will help participants master the requirements of the GIPS standards, including composite construction, performance calculation, and the creation of a compliant presentation. Additional workshops will be held in the coming months.
