IBM EUROPEAN TECHNICAL INTERCHANGE FORUM                                
                                                                        
WOULD YOU LIKE A HEAD-START ON THE COMPETITION IN 1997.....             
                                                                        
...then why not complete 1996 with a technical education update         
on the hottest IBM technologies around?                                 
                                                                        
IT ALL STARTS IN MUNICH....                                             
                                                                        
Developers have been asking us for more in-depth 'how to'               
technical education and hands-on sessions.  We've been listening,       
and in Germany, at the M.O.C. Congress Centre, in Munich                
on 2-4 December, we will be holding the IBM Technical Interchange       
Forum, designed to give you a real edge over your competitors.          
                                                                        
You'll get to talk direct to developers from IBM Laboratories -         
and you can't get closer to our products than that.
