First Annual PHIGS User's Group Conference

March 21 - 24, 1993
Sheraton World Resort
Orlando, Florida

The First Annual PHIGS Users Group conference is the premiere open forum on
issues related to PHIGS.  The conference is an excellent meeting point for
PHIGS users, application developers, researchers, students, vendors of
PHIGS-related products and management personnel concerned with graphics
products and use of graphics standards.

The purpose of the conference is to aid/encourage the development of PHIGS
graphics application software, educate software developers in the use and
availability of PHIGS, provide user feedback to PHIGS implementors and PHIGS
standards bodies, and provide a means for PHIGS users to share experience and
knowledge.
