In July, in Montreal, the first annual PowerPC Convention
will take place! This convention will gather the PowerPC
community together from all across the world to show its
support for the PowerPC platforms! (BeBox, PIOS-ONE, A/Box,
Amiga(PowerUP), PowerMac(& clones), IBM, Motorola) We hope to
make this show an event that will demonstrate the "POWER"
behind PowerPC's and their operating systems (BeOS, pOS,
MacOS, Linux, Solaris, AIX).
WHY: We are putting on the PowerCon'97 to support our
favorite computers. We feel that there is a place for
the PowerPC platform within the "WINTEL" monopoly.

as well as having lots of parking space in the
vicinity for cars.
WHY DEALERS SHOULD COME: We offer tables at an incredibly
low rate, a price which includes
electrical outlets and electricity.
You also get the chance to show
and sell your wares to a crowd of
PPC owners, all of whom have money
to spend and are influenced by how
big a prescence you have at the show.
WHY PEOPLE SHOULD COME: We will have stands from many
major dealers and developers. We will
also have a lot of friendly PPC
owners there, plus a booming sound
system and TV setup that will show
crazy demos and products. It will be
a wild good time for all!
