&lt;br /&gt;
This year's Triple-S Conference will be a meeting place for discussion of the future of the standard with interested parties, and to consider next steps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following topics will be considered:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * Should we continue to develop the standard, and publish new versions, or does a proliferation of versions actually make life harder for implementers?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * What are we to make of the various&amp;ldquo;extended&amp;rdquo; versions of Triple-S that have appeared over the years: should they be encouraged, or do they lead to confusion among end-users of the files produced?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * And if we are to create new versions of the standard, what features should be included?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Confirmit will be presenting a paper, &lt;em&gt;Help &amp;ndash; I&amp;rsquo;ve lost my grid! How to improve Triple-S XML: a Confirmit approac&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;h&lt;/em&gt;, along with other implementers and users of the standard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We&amp;rsquo;ll look at how to engage with the full spectrum of corporate buyers and users. How to create great online forums for technical experts. How to cultivate loyalists and champions. How to develop analytic models to manage key customer segments. How to &amp;ldquo;listen to the chatter&amp;rdquo; of the thousands of people who talk to you (and to each other) about your business. And much more.&lt;br /&gt;
