TWO BBSCON TRANS WORLD ONLINE February 8 to 11, 1995 at the Swissotel in Dusseldorf, Germany The event of the century for Telecom professionals, Sysops, and Cybervisionaries Worldwide. Europe is ready for its own BBS Conference! In the past Europe has been seen as trailing the U.S. in terms of modem sales, tele- communications software, and telephone network infrastructure. Today, the European telecommunications market is changing and is charging ahead in various market segments. The European telephone net for example, is mostly digital all the way to the end user and telephone installations are done in record time. ISDN and X.25 access are much more common in Europe than anywhere else. This is why the time is right for a gala event, covered by the press, bringing together the leaders in BBSing from around the world. The TWO BBSCON conference will be held February 8-11, 1995 in the Swissotel in Duesseldorf/Neuss, Germany. John C. Dvorak, the noted PC Magazine columnist will give the keynote address, and dozens of other industry luminaries will be there. The fees are as follows: DM 475. - (US $295) per day, or DM 950. - (US $595) for all three days. The conference fees include admission to the exhibition and participation in all workshops. "Early-Bird" registration will be rewarded with up to 35% price reduction. Special "one-day tickets" for Thursday and Friday will be available at the door. The fee for these tickets to the exhibition is DM 79,00 and includes participation in one workshop. There will also be tickets available for DM 29,00 on Saturday, which will be for the exhibition only. The reduced tickets are available to generate interest and participation of the local audience as well and student-sysops. The majority of the time will be filled with instructions and workshops covering subjects such as ISDN, Modems, Internet, BBS, graphic BBS-interfaces or Data Communication within the GSM Net.
