Yeek!  This sounds like a difficult task at best.

Am I wrong in thinking that Interworks is primarily an HP-UX conference and
that HP World is at least 1/3 HP-UX these days?

Sounds like someone's going to lose out in this process :-)

Are the attendees different enough that you can segregate them in this way?

It sounds like a recipe for massive confusion and irritation on the part of
the attendees who won't be allowed to go to sessions that look interesting
to them, and to presenters who find that they have to present a session
twice.

Is Interex going to pay for enough security to filter attendees at the door
to each session?

Why *not* just run the Interworks content as a part of HP World?

I suppose you might have trouble getting the average Interworks attendee
enthused about paying the $1,800.00 or whatever for a full HP World
conference registration.
