THE BORDERLESS WORLD
Dear (olleague,
As Chairman of the upcoming IPA
Convention, | take pleasure in inviting
you to attend the 29th Annual
Convention of the Information
Processing Association of Israel, to be
held in Jerusalem, during January
16 - 19, 1995.
The IPA is the umbrella organization of all the professionals involved
in Israeli information technology. Membership includes leaders in
Israel's hi-tech, telecommunication and software industries as well as
their users.
There is no better way to catch up on and discuss the latest
developments in this field than to meet and discuss them. World
renowned experts in information technology will be lecturing on
topics which are of vital interest to all those involved in the industry.
These topics will include lectures on the new "hot" technologies of
today: Client server, object orientation, telecommunications, open
systems, multimedia, parallel computing and ATM technology. A
special program of professional visits to Hi-Tech industries and R&D
institutes will enable delegates to sample Israel's achievements.
Israel is going through an historical process on the road to peace. The
process is opening doors which were in the past closed to Israel. This
can lead to an increase in the volume of foreign investment and the
launching of new commercial markets. Together with these bounties,
we look forward to welcoming delegates from Arab countries to the
convention.
A comprehensive commercial exhibition will be held within the
framework of the convention, complementing and enriching the
scientific program. It will showcase the achievements of Israel's
information technology industry. Exhibits will include:
telecommunication systems, wireless infra red transmission, frame
relay, video on demand, video conferencing, multimedia products
and systems, client-server systems, database and generator products,
CAD/CAM applications and educational systems.
Israel's distinguished public figures, who have indicated their
willingness to take part in the proceedings, include the President of
the State of Israel, Ezer Weizman; Foreign Minister Shimon Peres,
Minister of Trade and Industry Micha Harish and Ehud Olmert,
Mayor of Jerusalem.
The convention will provide a golden opportunity to combine a visit
to Jerusalem and it's multi-faceted ancient history with the new
technologies of modern Israel. We urge you to seize this opportunity
and to come and be part of a unique event in a unique setting.
Yours sincerely,
Amiram Shore
