Six months ago in Phoenix, Arizona, the reaction of the
standing-room-only crowd said it all. The Personal Software Products
Technical Interchange is THE conference for forward-thinking
professionals who want to establish and sharpen their competitive edge
in the 90s. If you were lucky enough to attend, you've probably been
using the valuable information you received to operate at a higher level
ever since. If you missed it, don't worry. The next wave of innovation
is heading your way...and it promises to be bigger and more powerful
than ever.
The upcoming PSP Technical Interchange in Orlando, Florida, has it all:
new technologies, new products, new strategies, plus hands-on approaches
and solutions that let you address current business challenges with
ease...and approach the challenges of the future with confidence.
You'll hear from industry experts about the latest computing trends.
You'll discuss new breakthroughs with the developers who made them
possible. You'll learn powerful new programming skills and discover new
ways to unleash the power of OS/2. And you'll get a chance to share
information, experiences, and a healthy dose of fun with over 2,000
other professionals who share your drive to learn and excel.
The PSP Technical Interchange lets you choose from over 100 interactive
sessions in 15 tracks with topics selected specifically for their appeal
and value to you. From new approaches in communications, device driver
development, distribute d systems management, LAN Systems, database, and
application development to the latest in hot new technology areas such
as pen computing, multimedia and object-oriented technology, and the
latest enhancements in OS/2 2.1, these are sessions that will capture
your interest and your imagination.
The PSP Technical Interchange also features keynote speeches from IBM
executives and co-sponsors, Q & A panels, demonstrations, exhibits from
major vendors, hands-on labs, valuable premiums, and much more. But to
experience the excitement and innovation, you've got to catch the wave.

"Tacky Tourist" welcome event on Sunday night. "32-bits" will be
awarded for the best (or worst) costume.
A TROPICAL HEAT WAVE RECEPTION On Monday evening, join us in the Exhibit
Hall to explore the hottest OS/2 tools and applications. Enjoy the
warmest in hospitality and friendship as you sample tropical
refreshments and get to know your fellow attendees. It's our informal

OS/2 WINS INDUSTRY AWARDS IT'S LUCKY 13 FOR OS/2. IBM's OS/2 advanced
operating system was recently named the "Product of the Year" in two
categories by the readers of InfoWorld, a leading computer industry
trade journal. In balloting conducted in March, 1993 among InfoWorld
readers, IBM's OS/2 was named "Software Product of the Year" and overall
"Product of the Year" for 1992.
These two awards bring to 13 the number of industry citations that OS/2
has won since December of 1992 and complement other recent kudos from PC
Magazine, PC Week, and InformationWeek.
