This message is being cross-posted, so I apologize if you see it multiple times
and if it is irrelevant to you.

This event is NOT just for DB2 DBAs, but DBAs working with Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase or Informix, as many of the vendors have cross-DBMS tools.

Join us for the 2002 Southeastern Database Vendor Fair in Greensboro, NC (near the Greensboro Airport) on Thursday, September 26th. This year's Vendor Fair theme is "Perform Better, Produce More". If that sounds like your management's mantra, then this is the event for you. We have lined up
numerous vendors covering a wide variety of database products. Whatever you need to manage your data more effectively, we have vendors who can help you,
including tools to help you comply with HIPAA or the Gramm, Leach, Bliley Acts. Here is your chance to

Scout out products your company needs.
Network with database professionals from other companies.
Talk with vendors.
Pick up reference material.

Maybe you'll even win one of our great door prizes.

This year's vendor fair is being co-hosted by SIRDUG and TRIDUG, with invitations going to several other database user groups.
