                       AI TECHNOLOGY FORUM IV
                       ----------------------
Hello everyone, time for another AI TECHNOLOGY FORUM ! I am sending you
this preliminary announcement to make sure the event gets into your busy
schedules. Ed. Services will announce it formally around mid November and 
you can then register. By that time we will have fully detailed the agenda
and signed up the remaining speakers. The forum will be held during the week
of JANUARY 9TH in Valbonne.

I will insert this preliminary announcement into the SWAS notes file and would
appreciate any comments over the next couple of weeks. It's difficult to 
make any major changes at this time, but we will try and be as flexible as 
possible! 

The main objectives programmed into the attached agenda are:-

- To provide you with hands on experience with Vax Decision Expert.
- To introduce you to EASE - the shell which resulted from RISK ADVISOR.
- To discuss the improvements incorporated in NEXPERT-OBJECT 1.1. (note, this
  has not yet been slotted into the schedule, but will be there.)
- To show ALL significant DECworld AI demos and insure you are positioned
  to use them in your country.
- To provide you with information on AI opportunities in Manufacturing and
  Telecoms.
- To share customer project experiences with each other.
- To present you with the latest AI Marketing Plans and SWAS operating plans.
- To update you on the current status of the EAITC - we will have an new 
  manager by then! 
- Decide on required training programs for the calendar year and agree on other
  European initiatives - Country Delegate Meeting.

Hope to see you all in January.

regards, jim kane.
