<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Apple Expo, Europe's premier Macintosh event, returns to Paris, from<br />
September 10 - 14, 2002. Xplain Corporation, (manager of Apple's Exhibit<br />
Fair at WWDC, MacTech Central, and all of IDG World Expo's Special Interes=<br />
t<br />
Pavilions at Macworld Expo), will manage two dedicated pavilions at<br />
Europe's largest Mac show - Apple Expo Paris - with attendees (80,000<br />
strong) hungry for technical products, services, and publications not<br />
readily available to them.</p>
<p>TURNKEY PAVILION EXHIBIT PACKAGES:</p>
<p>1 Developer & Technical Pavilion:</p>
<p> MacTech Central, sponsored by MacTech Magazine, the journal<br />
of Macintosh technology and development, is the premiere place<br />
for all technical products including programming and development,<br />
web development, network administrator tools and services, and<br />
other related developer and high-tech products.</p>
<p>2 International Pavilion:</p>
<p> This pavilion is designed for non-French companies interested<br />
in expanding in the European market. Not only will you get exposed<br />
to customers, but take part in special events designed to introduce<br />
your company to the channel, marketing and European distribution.</p>
<p> If you want to learn about and meet European distributors, this is t=<br />
he<br />
package for you.</p>
<p>This is an amazingly cost-effective offer with a great return on<br />
investment. Xplain has been managing special interest pavilions since 1994<br />
with a proven track record, as well as a model that works for everyone.<br />
With turnkey packages -- all exhibitor arrangements can be finalized in a<br />
day, or less, via phone, fax, and email.</p>
<p>Yes, it's that simple -- even for a foreign show.</p>
<p>We invite you to participate in MacTech Central or the International<br />
Pavilion because we believe you'll benefit greatly by having your<br />
products/services represented in market focus pavilion during Apple Expo in<br />
Paris, France.</p>

<p>Apple Expo is centered around villages -- each village (pavilion) with a<br />
unique theme. The group of villages, as a whole, will provide an attendee<br />
with a complete overview of the latest Mac technology.</p>
<p>Apple Expo is the most important trade show for Mac products and solutions<br />
in Europe. Now, in it's 19th year, Apple Expo offers solutions for the<br />
developer and programmer including all high-tech tools, Internet, web,<br />
creative market, small/medium businesses, educators, users of digital<br />
devices, and games enthusiasts.</p>
<p>Europe offers a completely different type of economy than we are used to in<br />
the U.S. There are significant technical products emerging from this market<br />
=2E.. and even more technical needs coming from this market. With Mac OS X,<br />
the market is shaping to be even stronger given the strong Unix/Linux<br />
heritage from Europe.</p>
<p>Don't miss out on your chance to reserve a turnkey station package in<br />
MacTech Central or the International Pavilion -- it's the most<br />
cost-effective way to exhibit at Europe's largest gathering of Mac users,<br />
products and solutions.</p>
<p>This year, 80,000 visitors are expected from all over Europe -- over 50% of<br />
whom are professional, high-end, technical Mac enthusiasts. In other words,<br />
your target audience! No where else can you get this kind of return on<br />
investment.</p>
<p>We're excited about Apple Expo/PARIS 2002 and look forward to your being a<br />
part of this amazing opportunity.</p>
<p>Finally, we're ready to move forward -- tell us you're ready and we can<br />
provide you with the necessary participation paperwork. We will want to get<br />
your contract completed in a timely manner so that you are able to meet the<br />
show guide deadline. However, not to worry, it can be done as quickly as a<br />
phone call, fax and electronic mail -- it's just that simple.</p>
