Computing Connections 2000
Exhibitor Show Floor--New and Improved!
By Gretchen Grunburg

Admission Free With Registration

Thursday, July 27 through Saturday, July 29, 2000

9 am to 6 pm Daily

San Diego Convention Center

The Exhibit Show Floor of Computing Connections 2000 is a high-quality showcase of technology solutions for business. But, if you’re expecting anything like the Show Floors at past California Computer Expos, you should be aware that the Exhibit Hall area has changed greatly!

The focus of Computing Connections 2000 is education, not entertainment. The Exhibit Show Floor is designed to support this year’s greatly expanded educational program. Therefore, it will have a completely different look and feel than in years past.

While some exhibitors might sell a product or service, there is no more ‘‘selling area.’‘ There are fewer exhibitors in a smaller area, offering higher-quality, business, Web, and education solutions rather than the ‘‘entertainment’‘ style of previous years.

We invite you to visit what we feel is our finest Show Floor ever, but do not expect the type of exhibits you may have seen at previous California Computer Expos. You can expect a solid lineup of solution providers on a smaller and higher-quality scale.

The following two pages offer a glimpse of some of the exhibitors who will be on hand at Computing Connections 2000. Admission to the Show Floor is free with registration (by mail, using the coupon below, or online at www.computoredge.com/ccc. Enjoy the show!
