ghavam@hpfcdq.HP.COM (Karen Ghavam) (04/20/91)

I would like to find out what types of conferences  exist as they relate
to X.  In particulare,  what kind of  classes/activities  do they offer,
when and where are they held, how can I get more information, etc.

Can anyone help?

The 2 major U.S. annual conferences on X are the X Technical Conference
in January and Xhibition in June.  The former is held in Boston by the
X Consortium and primarily focuses on current technical problem areas,
future plans for X, and related research projects.  The latter is held
in San Jose by Integrated Computer Solutions Inc. (phone
617-621-0787).  It is more product and user oriented and includes a
vendor exhibition.  Both offer pre-conference tutorials, most of which
are the same subjects with the same lecturers.

Also, USENIX often has sessions and tutorials related to X and many
university extension programs offer classes on X programming.
