AIW-PDC Questionaire

You are being sent this questionaire as an invitee/attendee of the
APPN Implementers' Workshop and/or the APPC Platform Developers'
Conference.

For the past two years, the IBM APPC Market Enablement Group has held
an APPC Platform Developers' Conference (PDC).  In 1993, this
conference was held in conjunction with an AIW meeting as a convenience
to those attendees who had interests in both.

We are interested in getting your opinion on the 1994 plan to once
again hold a combined AIW and PDC on June 21-23.  Note that this will
not affect the other AIWs scheduled in 1994.  (Feb. 16-18 and Oct.
18-20.)

Remember that, while the audiences of the AIW and PDC are similar
(companies as well as individual attendees), the focus of the two
conferences is different.  While the AIW works to facilitate APPN
implementations, the PDC is intended to provide a broad range of other
information crucial to companies intending to IMPLEMENT these
architectures.  This includes information on topics such as APIs,
Problem Determination, Configuration, Standard Applications, Security,
etc,...

Please help us make 1994's AIW/PDC combination the most successful
conference to date by filling out the survey below.  To help us process
the survey quickly, please fill in the blanks with a small "x" (for
example _x_).

When finished, send, via Internet, to:

Thank you for your time!
