Photographs from 1997 VM and VSE Technical Conference
The 1997 VM and VSE Technical Conference was held in
Kansas City, MO. These photographs were taken
by Chuck Morse, IBM's
Washington Systems Center, a key contributer to the
creation of the conference agenda.
General session presentations
Brian Walton,
Director, IBM S/390 General Business,
opened the conference with
a perspective on the General Business strategy.

treated the audience to a new perspective on Client/Server in his
presentation, "Slipperier than a Watermelon Seed: coping with
Buzzwords in the IT industry".
Amanda Bright, IBM
Canada,
ended the general session with a bang. A brass band
introduced Amanda as she announced the new release of
DB2 Server for VSE & VM...and bunches of balloons softly
fell on to the audience. (Ok, so we couldn't help but to pop
some of those balloons.)
