- Three exciting days (compromising one weekend) are planned for all
- Apple II and Macintosh users throughout the world meeting in one prime
- location - San Francisco. Located near SiliCon Valley, the San
- Francisco expo will feature MANY events, all offerred at one very low
- and economical price. All seminars offerred through the duration of the
- Expo will be offerred to all attendees at no extra charge. This is the
- best opportunity for Apple users to see what the future holds for them,

- have a few special treats in store for them as this will be an
- invalueable
- chance for them to check out all the new products which will be unveiled

- this time, 70% has already been sold. If you are a company with a product
- or service that you think should be showcased at the expo, now is the
- perfect time to purchase a booth before all space is sold out. If you

- Keynote Speakers
-
- At the current time, we have 2 of our Keynote Speakers confirmed. We
- are working on our third and will post details as they become available.
- First, we have Peter Kelman, the Vice President of Schoolastic, Inc. He
- will be speaking on "Edutainment Software vs. Educational Software". The
- other Keynote speaker is none other than Roger Wagner, of Roger Wagner
- Publishing. His topic is "Multimedia - The Mouse is mightier than the
- Pen". Many of the attendees to the Boston show spoke highly of Roger's
- Keynote there, and he has shown his expertise in the Multimedia field.
- We are also currently negotiating to have Guy Kawasaki be our third
- Keynote Speaker. We will post an update following his confirmation,
- along with other new information as it becomes available.
