The Business Reporting and Data Assurance conference with research paper presentations is scheduled for Friday April 19, 2002.  Agenda : http://web.bryant.edu/~xbrl/april19_agenda.htm

Obviously, there is an opportunity for both XBRL Consortium members and academic researchers attending the conference to interact while at Bryant College. Opportunities to interact with XBRL Consortium members include:
· A special dinner to honor winner(s) of 2001-2002 XBRL Academic Competition on Thursday night April 18, open to registered conference attendees
· Friday morning opening session
· Breakfast and lunch on Friday April 19
Eric Cohen, the PricewaterhouseCoopers XBRL Technical Lead, will conduct the first XBRL hands-on workshop for the academic community. Computers and software will be provided. If you have had the opportunity to see one of Eric’s presentations, you will again enjoy his mixture of authoritative knowledge blended with humor throughout the workshop.   The workshop can accommodate only 30 people, so please make your reservation early.
