The Open Group Members Conference
San Diego, USA : 27 April - 1 May 1998
Why you should attend
We are excited to open day one of the San Diego conference to non-members and to be able to unveil the Open Network Computer™ brand – a concrete step towards IT DialTone. We will discuss why only a certified Open Network Computer is guaranteed to deliver the essential thin-client capabilities now and in the future. We have a compelling line up of industry known speakers integral to the development of network computing. These speakers, combined with attendance extended beyond our current membership, provide a broader forum for Monday’s discussion of the business challenges facing you today and tomorrow.
In addition to a comprehensive agenda, vendor demonstrations will round out the day, which will be concluded with a cocktail reception hosted by NCWorld Magazine.
Tuesday’s Network Computing Requirements session places you, our member, and your needs, center stage. We need your continued input and feedback regarding the development of network computing standards. In addition, back by popular demand, we will host a sequel to the Security Briefing session that was so well received in Amsterdam. This is developing into what is essentially an informative conference track that will include Systems Management and other compelling content. Further highlights of the week include an update on the Component Software Technology Program, an XNET Forum (stay tuned for more details), and the introduction of a broadened and refocused Program Group to be called Network Client, created by the members of the former Desktop group.
