COMMON
National Conferences
Two National
Conferences are held each year. These
events feature
five days of technical,
management, and industry-related sessions, with
lectures and labs, plus the COMMON Expo, the
industry's largest vendor exhibition. More than
2,000 attendees per conference (your industry
peers, top IBM executives and major vendors)
participate in the ultimate learning experience.
(You must be a member to attend.)
COMMON.CONNECT
COMMON.CONNECT
is the bimonthly
magazine for
COMMON members.
Each full-color, 34+
page issue
provides news on
what's happening
in COMMON, news
from Local User
Groups, and other
features that are
of particular
interest to COMMON
members. In
addition, each
issue offers
readers new
insights,
interesting
education, and a
wider
perspective--information
that will be
helpful "on
the job."
COMMON.CONNECT
is mailed to all COMMON members and
will be made
available here on COMMON's Web
site beginning in
late February
2004. The magazine
replaces the
quarterly
newsletter COMMONews
as
the official member
publication of
COMMON.
