We all know that, because we live it every day, but can you imagine a Developer’s Conference with that as the THEME?

But wait a minute, you say!! We JUST HAD a conference in May!! True! But until our schedule was disrupted by the events of fall, 2001, we always met in October. So we’re just getting back on schedule! And, many people who wanted to attend in May couldn’t because of personal commitments and empty travel budgets. But wait, you say!!! Why not wait until October 2005? You’ve got to be kidding, right? Who can possibly wait that long with changes, improvements and upgrades coming fast and furious! So keep your eye on the Official RBTI Conference site at: http://www.rbase.com/conference and watch this list for the complete schedule, list of presentations and announcements of website updates. For the nominal cost of $245.00, you'll receive three days packed with R:BASE tips and tricks, have the opportunity to see working examples of R:BASE 7.1 and R:WEB Suite applications - AND to meet the R:BASE Dream Team developers who have worked so tirelessly to make each new release of R:BASE the best yet. Just one "DUH - I didn't know you could do that!!!" could be valuable enough to pay back the cost of your registration fee!
