GENERAL MANAGER - HP 3000
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Good relationships depend on good communication. And we think the
best communication is dynamic, with everyone having a say.
Because of the enormous investment and commitment you make in your
HP 3000 business computing environment, we understand that you need
information about the industry trends, product developments and
opportunities. In addition, we want to better understand your needs,
challenges and ideas.
Well, here's a great opportunity to get together and exchange ideas!
We are hosting the HP 3000 Strategic Customer Forum - an executive,
business-casual, interactive event hosted in seven regional locations.
The forum will feature high-level, strategic presentations by HP 3000
executive management. You will also have an opportunity prior to the
event to determine the content of other presentations and participate
in small-group breakout sessions to discuss the HP 3000 computing
issues that matter to you most. Our goal is to make this event casual,
intimate and topically focused to facilitate good discussion and flow
of ideas. For this reason, attendance will be limited.
Your participation is important to us, and we would like to show our
appreciation for your attendance by offering a special HP 3000 Forum
Attendance free software license upgrade (see below for details).
We look forward to seeing you there!
