Site Builder Conference

Memory Company Opts for Gold Level
to Demonstrate Commitment to Internet

Fountain Valley, CA -- (October 13, 1996 )

Recognizing the opportunity to reach a cross-section of the most influential web site developers in the nation, Kingston Technology Company, the recognized world leader in memory products, announced today its Gold-level sponsorship of the Site Builder Conference to be held in San Jose, October 28-30.

The Site Builder conference, designed to address HTML authors and web site builders who are developing dynamic web-based solutions for intranets or commercial Internet sites, will feature five specialized segments or tracks, including: Client Side Authoring Issues, Web Application & Component Development, Web Server Development, Commerce on the Web, and Web Content Management.
Intended for web developers who are building Internet and intranet sites and applications based on HTML, ActiveXO Technologies, Java and scripting technologies, the Microsoft Site Builder Conference is the first of two events planned to support Internet technologies. The objective of Site Builder is to show attendees how to take advantage of Microsoft Internet technologies, (including Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and 4.0, ActiveX and "Normandy"), to achieve greater productivity and gain the ability to build more compelling intranet and Internet sites and applications.

Site Builder is the first of two conferences planned by Microsoft in their aim to Offer Comprehensive Internet and Intranet Developer Conferences Complementary Events to Focus on Unique Needs of Distinct Developer Groups this fall. The first is the Microsoft Site Builder Conference, scheduled October 28-30 at the San Jose (California) Convention Center.

The second conference, planned for developers who build distributed line-of-business applications or customize components for intranets and the Internet, is the Professional Developers Conference, scheduled November 7 at the Long Beach (California) Convention Center. Both conferences will feature sessions led by industry experts and Microsoft product architects. More than 7,000 developers are expected to attend.

Site Builder will include sessions dedicated to a variety of development tools, from both Microsoft and third parties, focused on building these kinds of applications. Microsoft will also unveil and offer demonstrations of new products. Material at the Site Builders Conference will be covered at a depth similar to that which Microsoft has provided at conferences such as Tech Ed and VBITS.
Vendors, Demonstrations and Hands-On Stations

Site Builder will provide a working showcase for Internet and intranet development tools and components from Microsoft and will feature more than 150 leading third-party vendors. In addition, each conference will feature a hands-on technology room.
