November 3-4, 2009 Thought Leader Summit in Maidenhead, UK

Fall WfMC Meeting


The Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) is holding a Thought Leader Summit in Maidenhead, England, just outside of London. It is divided into two days:

  • Nov 3: discussion of Case Management/Dynamic BPM. What is the emerging area? What is it not? How can we define the space so that products that actually fit the category are readily identified, and products which are not in the category are not mistaken for being in.
  • Nov 4: discussion of BPMN 2.0 and Model Interchange. Headed by Robert Shapiro who has been leading the effort to define a standard way to exchange BPMN Diagram. There are some tough decisions to be made about what should and should not be included, and this will be a chance for the experts in BPMN modeling to meet and discuss this.

This will be an excellent opportunity to engage European members and other individuals interested in BPMN, XPDL and other workflow standards, plus a full-day Leadership Forum focuses on chartering the next generation in Case Management.
