NeXTWORLD EXPO DEVELOPER CONFERENCE
The NeXTWORLD EXPO '93 Developer Conference offers a broad curriculum
to the developer community, focusing on creating both shrinkwrapped
applications and client/server custom applications. Because the
ability to run NEXTSTEP applications on Intel-based computers is now
a reality, both the general session and the conference tracks provide
valuable information about porting and distribution.
Four separate Conference Tracks focus on the business and technical
aspects of NEXTSTEP application development. Each track provides a
different perspective on understanding and working with NEXTSTEP. To
benefit most from the breadth of topics offered at the conference, we
encourage you to review and attend sessions from several tracks. A
specially priced developer bundle is available which includes
registration and a copy of NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors (see
registration form below for details).
NeXTWORLD EXPO USER CONFERENCE
The NeXTWORLD EXPO '93 User Conference offers in-depth information
about the use of NEXTSTEP in corporate information systems and on
individual desktops. Designed for experienced NEXTSTEP end users,
system managers, and IS strategists, the four-track program focuses
on the issues of deploying NEXTSTEP in enterprise-wide systems, using
NEXTSTEP for maximum benefits, case studies of NEXTSTEP usage in the
real world, and comparative looks at the most innovative third-party
products in the NeXT market. One session is dedicated to providing a
quick start for users who are new to NEXTSTEP, so that they can
participate fully in the remainder of the program. Key sessions in
each track are repeated so that attendees can participate in as many
different sessions as possible.
NeXT USER GROUP PROGRAM
NoIR (NeXT Organizations InteRnational) is sponsoring a worldwide
User Group Program. This year's program theme is "486--An Explosion
of New Users Under NeXT's Big Tent." Sessions focus on two tracks:
user group leadership and member services. If you want ideas to take
back to your group, this program is for you. Last year over 100
groups from around the world were represented and this year we expect
many more. With the explosion of new NEXTSTEP users coming this year
and next, this program helps you prepare your NeXT User Group for
growth and success in 1993 and 1994.
In addition to the formal events listed here, several special social
events will be held. All user group members attending either the
exposition or the conferences are invited to register for the user
group program free of charge.
