New York Area user groups are joining forces for Interop City, an
interoperability event, with the help of the International ***ociation
of Software Architects (IASA)! Join us for this special event sponsored
by BEA, Microsoft, Compuware and JNBridge on July 14th, where you'll
hear some of the best speakers on the subject of software
interoperability between .NET and several J2EE platforms, in addition
to some discussions on best practice approaches to interop, Web
services, and more.

Some of the user groups participating are:
- New York City Rational User Group
- BEA dev2dev
- New York City chapter of the IASA
- New Jersey Enterprise Visual Basic User Group
- NYPC Visual Basic SIG
- Virtual Websphere z/OS User Group
- New Jersey Developers Group
- Long Island LINUX User Group
- New York City .NET Developers Group
- New York Software Industry ***ociation .NET SIG
- Northern New Jersey .NET User Group

This is a first-of-its-kind collective effort between the user groups
in the New York Area, where you'll have a chance to network with like
minds in other platforms and disciplines. This is a catered event that
will provide you with a full day of presentations, demonstrations and
dialog from a fantastic line-up of interoperability experts.
