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. There will be plenty of opportunity
for discussion following the workshops. In addition to the
conference, there will be an ongoing product display by all
major hardware and software manufacturers. Many of these
manufacturers will use the opportunity to offer special
"Sysop" discounts at TWO BBSCON.
The TWO BBSCON will be sponsered by dozens of exhibitors
and hundreds of sysops from all over Europe. The founding
members are Gerald Meier ( Liechtenstein), Joerg
Steinhaeuser (Germany), and Tim Stryker (USA). In the
advising commitee are impartant personalities from the
telecommunication industry such as Dr. Klaus Langner from
ELSA GmbH (Germany), Ralph-Guido Novak from Vogal Verlag
(issues PC Magazine i.e. "Chip" and "Telecom"), John C.
Dvorack from PC Magazine (USA), Dick A.J.M. Hommen from
Infoboard BBS (The Netherlands) and Jack Rickard who issues
"Boardwatch Magazine" as well as organizes ONE BBSCON (USA).
Many telecom distributors from Europe as well as the United
States such as ELSA, Online Store, BAUSCH datacom, Telelink,
Dr. Neuhaus, eSoft, Clark Development, Galacticomm,
Searchlight Software and TeleGrafix have already reserved
their slots as exhibitors and/or speakers and more are being
added every day to this list.
