Lutz, FL-September 23, 2008-Xplor International, the worldwide electronic document systems association, today announced that their 2009 Xplor Global Conference and Exhibition will take place March 4-7, 2009 in the Tampa Bay, Florida area. The conference and exhibition will be held at the Trade Winds Island Grand Hotel and Convention Center, a 4-Star, 585 room beach front resort destination.

The 2009 event, themed Trends in Customer Communications, will provide attendees with the latest in industry and technology trends; new and emerging technologies, application developments, operations; and print, mail and web. In addition, the 2009 event will feature several scheduled networking events and receptions as well as a large pipe and drape exhibition. Xplor's Global Conference will also offer a number of flexible registration packages including a Platinum Passport (all courses, all days and all events) as well as a choice of day passes. Platinum Passport conference registration will range from $695 to $1095 based on register timing and Xplor membership.

"For the last two years our members and longtime attendees have indicated a strong desire to return to a standalone conference event rather than part of a larger event. With attendees staying at multiple hotels they felt the opportunity to network with peers was significantly limited compared to previous years," says Skip Henk, President and CEO of Xplor. "The hotel and convention center combination will provide a backdrop for the strong conference programming Xplor is famous for and give our attendees the maximum opportunity to share information, network and get to know each other over the course of the conference."

Designed for senior level management, marketing, sales, designers, recommenders, consultants, influencers, technical staff, implementers, and operations personnel, the conferences courses are targeted for any company who sends statements, bills, direct mail and customer communications and who are looking for new ideas, solutions and the latest the digital document industry has to offer.

In addition to the conference and exhibition, attendees can enjoy a variety of Xplor-only networking events including region and chapter meetings, attendee receptions and the Xplor Document University spring break evening party.
