GENERAL INFORMATION

For the 10th consecutive year, the European Smalltalk User Group is
organizing a Smalltalk Conference to bring together Smalltalk users f=
rom
both academia and industry in a friendly atmosphere.  As always, the
attendents will enjoy tutorials, workshops and demonstrations on vari=
ous
Smalltalk related subjects.  Continuing a strong tradition in organiz=
ing
Smalltalk events for Smalltalk developers, this year promises to be v=
ery
exciting.

All these exciting events will take place in the last week of August,=

Smalltalk Conference, a Free Software Day, a Teachers Forum and Small=
talk
Doctoral Symposium!

h are
