The first annual INNS meeting promises to be a historic event. Its program
includes the largest selection of investigators ever assembled to present
the full range of neural network research and applications.

The meeting will bring together over 2000 scientists, engineers, students,
government administrators, industrial commercializers, and financiers. It
is rapidly selling out. Reserve now to avoid disappointment.
