1998 FrameUsers Conference: Using FrameMaker in the Real World
Radisson Plaza Hotel at Mark Center
Alexandria, VA
October 11-14, 1998
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the 1998 FrameUsers Conference?
Thank you for your interest in the 1998 FrameUsers Conference: Using
FrameMaker in the Real World. This conference is geared towards users, with
an emphasis on using FrameMaker effectively on a day-to-day basis. Our
speakers will be presenting on topics that have been frequently mentioned
on the Framers list, and while there will be vendor booths available for
you to see and hear about all the exciting tools that are on the market,
the sessions that are scheduled will be user-oriented, not sales driven.
Come and learn how to use FrameMaker more effectively, share ideas with
colleagues, and network with other FrameUsers. There will be a 24-hour
computer lab available at the conference for users to practice what they
have learned and to brainstorm and share ideas with others. This conference
promises to be a fun time as well as a very valuable learning experience.
The 1998 FrameUsers Conference will be held at the Radisson Plaza Hotel at
Mark Center. Luxurious accommodations, exceptional value, warm hospitality,
and an ideal location attract business and leisure travelers to the
