- largest ever showcase for Acorn products and services worldwide. Taking
- place at Wembley from 29-31 October 1993, the exhibition will have a
- futuristic feel and will include a concept area, as well as a series of
- dedicated feature stands.

- "Besides catching a glimpse of just some of the exciting technological
- concepts of tomorrow, visitors will be able to see the latest
- state-of-the-art systems for the education, publishing, professional
