DD> If you don't know, Forum, is an "unusual" conference with
DD> no (or very few) formal talks and no seats!!
I has an activator at Forum 90 in Stockholm, Sweden, and at Forum 95 in
Dortmund, Germany, and enjoyed it a lot. In the Idea Market you have some 20
people in a single room with two flip charts each. You can continue your
discussion through brain storming in a Sort-and-Build group. In Stockholm we
did our own TV program on the closed-circuit TV system of the hotel every
night. I have a tape of it.
There is a Web site connected to the Forum conferences at http://www.tc-forum.org. I took over as the Web master there last month but
have not done much besides some update. Hans Springer
DD> Springer -dot- H -at- geod -dot- geonet -dot- de
publishes an international magazine for technical communicators and we work on
putting it to the Web site.
DD> TEKOM Conference - main theme Document Management Systems -
DD> 1-13 November, Munich, Germany.
CORRECTION: The tekom conference has been moved to Nov. 19-20. There seems to
be some big event in Munich in the week before and tekom had problems to get
enough hotel rooms.
Greetings from Germany,
