If 1996 can be summarized as a year of change for The Open Group, then 1997 can best be previewed as a year of ACTION. As said by Arthur Godfrey, "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." So don't just sit there, take ACTION, attend The Open Group Member Conference in Seattle, WA -- March 17 - 20, 1997.

The theme for this meeting is "Solutions for Integrating the Enterprise". Business requirements force organizations to face the challenge of evaluating and integrating a plethora of IS solutions into its strategies and legacy systems. By attending this conference, you'll gain insight from case studies presented by your colleagues that address issues and industry standards in light of emerging market-endorsed standards. Interactive panel discussions that provide an exchange of ideas and information that can be used to help solve your own corporate challenges will follow each case study.

We hope you'll want to network with your peers, learn from their experiences, and incorporate their ideas in support of common objectives. Plan to be in Seattle, WA -- March 17-20, 1997. Future Flashes and this web site will provide detailed agenda and registration information.
