2400.1What a wasteSDSVAX::SWEENEYPatrick Sweeney in New YorkWed Mar 03 1993 11:162
    Does anyone know how or why in these days that DECUS and DEXPO can't
    learn to get along and not compete over the same audience?

    One gets you admission to the other, no?
    
    Methinks there's even a shuttle-bus running between sites.

2400.3QUARK::LIONELFree advice is worth every centWed Mar 03 1993 15:0212
No, one doesn't get you admission to the other.  Registration for the
DEXPO exhibit hall is free for DECUS attendees, but not vice versa.  The
wrangling between Miller-Freeman and DECUS has a long history, and I don't
pretend to understand all of the reasoning behind DECUS' decision to hold
their own trade show, but I do know that I have found DEXPO extremely
disappointing the several times I have attended.

However, I will point out that DECUS is not run by Digital and thus it may
not be appropriate to discuss DECUS here.  It is unfortunate that there is
no longer a separate notes conference to discuss DECUS.

    Although it is focussed on exhibit planning for each upcoming DECUS
    Symposium, the conference mr4srv::decus is available for information,
    comments, and questions.
