Get real in LA

Real answers to real IT questions you face today -- and tomorrow

Real insights

Real experience

Real solutions to real IT problems

With the myriad conferences, seminars and workshops being offered this fall, why choose DECUS?

Because DECUS is the one proven, premier technical event that addresses all your IT concerns, offering:

• In-depth focus on managing, integrating and optimizing three primary operating platforms -- Windows NT, DIGITAL UNIX and OpenVMS
• Unprecedented opportunities to meet and talk directly with executives from the newly-merged Compaq and DIGITAL
• Interactive, hands-on sessions that take you one-on-one with leading engineers, industry experts and software developers
• The absolute technical resource for network managers, system administrators and other IT professionals whose computing infrastructure includes Compaq technology

Straight talk from the top

At DECUS, the talk is technical. No sales and marketing hype. Sessions and seminars are designed to give you every opportunity to exchange information in open, dynamic forums.

You’ll hear from vice presidents and other executives from Compaq and DIGITAL who will give you the "inside story" on the product and service strategies being implemented to take Compaq technology into the new millennium. Your questions will be answered, your issues and concerns addressed -- and you'll gain a clear understanding of how your current investments will continue to be protected.

You’ll also get the chance to talk and work directly with Compaq engineers to find out how to solve the problems you’re dealing with today -- and learn what to expect tomorrow.

Peer-to-peer networking

DECUS is a great place to meet and mingle with system administrators, network managers and other IT professionals -- all facing the same challenges that come with building and managing the networks, middleware, applications and systems that make up today’s increasingly complex IT enterprise infrastructure.

You'll find that DECUS offers an ideal environment for learning from one another’s experiences, as you discuss common problems and explore resolutions, even exchange a war story or two. It's an invaluable way to transfer knowledge -- and your organization will reap the benefits as you implement what you've learned in your own computing environment and share new-found insights with your management and IT staff.

Come ready to learn

DECUS '98/Los Angeles is designed to provide you with an intense, focused learning experience. Expect questions to be answered and problems to be resolved.
