EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE
Often executives have a lot of questions but have a hard time
getting straight answers. The Executive Conference at Xhibition 93
will provide you with real world solutions to your computing needs.
If you are a pioneer in the industry who decided to take risks with
your company's computing environment, Xhibition would like you to
share these experiences with others who are considering taking on
a similar challenge. Please contact Judy Lazaro at 617.621.0787
x104 if you would like to participate in the Executive Conference.
CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES AT XHIBITION
