CONFERENCE INFORMATION
IBM developerWorks Live!, the Technical Developer Conference, is being held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco May 7 - 10, 2002.

IBM developerWorks Live! combines IBM's three most successful conferences:
• WebSphere 2001
• Lotus DevCon
• Solutions 2001: The IBM Technical Developer Conference

At IBM developerWorks Live!, you will attend one conference instead of three and still benefit from the breadth of learning experiences you have previously enjoyed. This saves you time and money in 2002.

This conference will be a forum for IT executives and Web developers who are increasingly becoming the decision makers within their organizations. With over 400 hours of technical sessions, hands-on labs, "Meet the Developers," birds-of-a-feather sessions, and expert speakers in the general sessions, you will be provided with the tools you need to lead the next generation of development.

There are over 200 sessions listed on the Agenda Builder. You may browse the information as a guest, or using the ID and password received at registration time, you may build your own personalized agenda for the conference. http://developerworks.cybercentral.com/ibm0502/web/login.jsp

Also, while you're at IBM developerWorks Live!, visit the Solutions Center -- a showcase of IBM e-Business technology and Business Partner solutions and services. This outstanding information hub will provide you the unique opportunity to see and touch the latest technology. We'll also have system, Web, and solutions experts on hand, so you can discuss issues important to you, one-on-one, and get the answers you need. A list of sponsors and exhibitors can be found on the conference Web site.

CONFERENCE ENTERTAINMENT
And just for fun - developers Go Live! In a special performance just for conference attendees, Smash Mouth is coming home to the Bay Area where they got their start. It's the ultimate San Francisco happening!
