A Personal Invitation
=====================
IPCC 97 will be a linked conference with SIGDOC 97; we will have a day
of joint sessions where attendees can participate in sessions from
either conference.  Additionally, we're providing a substantial discount
if you want to attend both conferences.  (For more information about
SIGDOC 97, see http://www.acm.org/sigdoc/sigdoc97).

Both conferences feature a full program of papers, panel discussions,
demonstrations, case studies, and tutorials on these and other topics.
In addition, the conferences provide you an opportunity to network with
other professionals and to develop skills and share ideas relevant to
your job.
