====================================================================== A N N O U N C I N G WINNERS IN THE THE BOARDWATCH 100 READERS' CHOICE BBS CONTEST 1993 ====================================================================== Announcement of all 100 winners and trophy presentation to the top ten bulletin board systems to be made at the: Online Networking Exposition and BBS Convention O N E B B S C O N AUGUST 25-29, 1993 Broadmoor Hotel - Colorado Springs, Colorado (303)693-5253 voice (303)693-5518 fax (303)693-5432 BBS ====================================================================== Over a thousand BBS enthusiasts attended ONE BBSCON '92 in Denver last August - by all accounts the most successful face-to-face gathering of BBS operators, Internet users, commercial service providers, and other BBS/networking aficionados ever held. Over a hundred educational sessions were presented during the three-day event. This has become the largest show focused on electronic bulletin boards and online services in the world. Approximately 2000 attendees are expected at the 1993 ONE BBSCON as well as over 130 vendors displaying modems, BBS software and utilities, CD-ROMs, and other tools to make PCs talk in the night. The '93 event is designed to take advantage of the Colorado Rocky Mountain environment at its most beautiful. Located at the base of Pike's Peak, The Broadmoor Hotel is one of the top resort hotels in the country, featuring over 100,000 square feet of meeting space and 36 meeting rooms along with eight different restuarants. Sessions will again be designed in topical tracks such as Running an Online Service for Profit, Legal Issues Online, Social and Community Issues Online, BBS Software, The Internet, as well as a series of mini-symposiums presented by the developers of various BBS systems for operators who use their software. The result will again be one of the most ambitious schedules of educational sessions ever planned for a convention of this type. Most conventions feature eight or ten educational sessions. At ONE BBSCON, that happens EVERY HOUR. Our Keynote Speaker for ONE BBSCON '93 is Mr. Jim Warren, founder of West Coast Computer Faires, Infoworld, Dr. Dobbs Journal, the Computer Chronicles television program, and currently a columnist for Microtimes Magazine and Board of Directors for Autodesk. Most notably, Mr. Warren has taken a leading role in campaigning for public electronic access to public information in government. HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH A BBS-The most attended session from ONE BBSCON92 is back by popular demand. Jack Rickard and Phil Becker with frank talk on what works, what doesn't, and why - gleaned from their contacts with hundreds of successful, professional BBS operators. How to handle credit cards, promote your system, develop a theme, and take the steps to turn your hobby into a more profitable enterprise - and possibly even a business. DVORAK AWARDS Noted columnist John C.
