As you know, I got together last year with two other AS/400 and iSeries advocates, Jon Paris and Susan Gantner, and started RPG World, the RPG developer's conference. Last year's conference was so well-received that we have scheduled two more for 2004.
The Spring 2004 RPG World Conference is scheduled for April 28 to 30, 2004, at the Hyatt Deerfield Hotel in Deerfield, Illinois, just a few minutes north of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. In the fall of 2004, RPG World will return to Orlando.
This time, we will provide not only some of the best RPG IV training available, but also up-to-date information on the latest RPG IV enhancements, including those scheduled for OS/400 V5R3 due in mid-April.
In addition to Jon, Susan, and me, Paul Tuohy of COMCON returns to provide some valuable insight to those just starting out with RPG IV. Also this year, one of IBM Canada's most popular presenters, Alison Butterill, will be joining us to provide information on IBM's Roadmap for RPG as well as a peek into what's new in RPG IV.
Don't miss this chance to network with Jon, Susan, Paul, Alison, and me at RPG World 2004. Go to RPG World for more details.

In addition, you may be caught between maintaining your existing applications and the uncertainty of moving to something new.
