| Dear Colleague, We are pleased to
invite you to the 1997 TopSpeed
Developers Conference, to be
held on the beach in Fort. Lauderdale,
Florida, September 22 through 24, 1997.
The theme
of this years conference is Staying
Connected, and Peter Coffee,
Advanced Technologies Analyst for PC
Week and distinguished author, will
be the Keynote speaker.
He will
address the challenges of building
applications in an era of distributed
systems, reusable software components,
and the omnipresent Internet. He will
share with you which methods work best to
achieve your goals. Learn and
benefit--first hand--from his successes.
The year
of 1997 will be our most prolific year
ever. With Clarion Internet Connect, the
next version of Clarion for Windows
Professional Edition and the new
Enterprise Edition, we have a lot of
excitement to share with you.
This
years conference is one you will
not want to miss. It will give you the
technology and the tools you need to grow
your business and remain far ahead of
your competitors. It will provide you
with a dynamic forum to interact with
fellow TopSpeed developers, members of
the TopSpeed Development Centre, Team
TopSpeed, and Third Party developers from
around the world. The conference will
host open-forum question and answer
sessions in which you will have the
opportunity to express your opinions and
voice your concerns to the individuals
who design and produce TopSpeed
technology.
DevCon
97 will focus on three fascinating
topics:
- Internet
Connect: How developers
like you can deploy full-featured
applications over the Internet
(or Intranet) with the least
effort, most power, and the least
network traffic. Learn how and
why Clarion Internet Connect will
increase your profitability.
- Client/Server
Architecture: Strategic
advice on developing and
deploying Client/Server
applications, at all levels. From
small and medium sized companies,
to Fortune 100 companies.
- Object
Oriented Templates: Essential
information and advice for
Clarion developers on how to get
the most out of the new template
classes in Clarion 4. The
Application Builder Classes - as
embodied in the new templates -
are the most important addition
to Clarion since the move to
windows.
Weve
put together a talented group of
acclaimed speakers to share with you the
knowledge they have gained from utilizing
these technologies every day.
Weve
invited TopSpeed partners and independent
software vendors who will demonstrate
their products. Youll be able to
try out these new technologies
youve heard so much about during
the conference.
Join your
colleagues in this relaxed and
comfortable environment to exchange
development tips and techniques, and to
find out whats going on in the
Clarion community. And, after gaining
insightful knowledge all day, Ft.
Lauderdales fun-filled activities
will await you. The conference location
is right on the beach in Ft.
Lauderdales famous
"strip."
To
maximize your return on investment, be
sure to sign up for the post-conference,
"hands-on" seminars that will
be offered on Thursday, September 25 and
Friday, September 26. The
Internet Connect and Object
Oriented Template seminars will
provide you with one-on-one training and
the chance to actually see the products
in action and learn specifically how they
will help you get ahead. Special
registration is required and space is
limited, so you must reserve your spot
today! Last year, these seminars were
sold out.
Invest
your time wisely and attend the hottest
technology conference of the year. The
1997 TopSpeed Developers Conference
will bring you essential information
about the products and services you need
to stay connected with todays
dynamic technology world. This three-day
conference (a small price to pay for
increased profitability) will be packed
with information that will help you
develop faster and smarter.
With
technology changing by the minute,
its important to stay connected and
remain ahead of your competition.
Dont hang back while your clients
and end-users move into 21st
century computing.
We look
forward to seeing you in September.
Sincerely,

Bruce
Barrington
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
