Traditionally, we've had two U.S. conferences a year - one on the East coast and one on the West coast. Last year, we added a Europe conference in April at The Hague in the Netherlands. Sun Expo '91 is being held July 23-25 at the beautiful, new San Jose Convention Center in the heart of the Silicon Valley. The San Jose Convention Center, one of the 20 largest facilities in the United States, covers almost thirteen acres and has 1.2 million square feet of space. With its glass enclosed arcade and concourse that has two levels of elegant public space, along with a grand promenade paved with black and white marble terrazzo in various geometric patterns, the beauty of the San Jose Convention Center is second only to its capabilities and flexibility. Sun Expo '91 is devoted entirely to the Sun/UNIX market. The training symposiums and trade exhibitions are carefully planned to provide you with opportunities to gather information about the state-of-the-art in the Sun world and to expand your knowledge of the industry. Sun Expo '91 offers a rare opportunity to meet with Sun systems designers, end-users, resellers, industry executives, etc. to talk about new trends, developments, next generation architectures and more. This is an opportunity you don't want to miss!
