SIGCOBOL to benefit from COBOL World registration code

The Interex Special Interest Group for COBOL (SIGCOBOL) can receive a financial bonus for each person registering for the upcoming Cobol World 2001Conference, October 2-4. The conference is the first international general COBOL conference, to be held in Anaheim, Calif.

SIGCOBOL chairman Jeanette Nutsford reports that “I am heavily involved as a board member of the conference (representing the SIGCOBOL users) and our user group stands to gain financially if people register with our special keycode HPC100.” Registering with the code at www.cobolworld.com/2_4register.html also saves attendees $100. The conference has six different tracks with papers — The Web, Business Vision, Object/Component Technology, Legacy Integration/Transformation, Open-Source, and The COBOL 2002 Standard — plus half- and full-day tutorials. A special roundtable, hosted by Nutsford, will discuss the role of user groups.
