Almost.  Integrated Computer Solutions and the X Users Group sponsored a
conference and vendor show which they called Xhibition.  The event happening
next week is the 3rd Annual X Technical Conference, sponsored by MIT.  It does
*not* have a trade show and focuses more on cutting edge work in X rather than
on end-user training or product development.

Although both conferences are held once a year, Xhibition will be moving to
different cities (it will be on the west coast this year; contact ICS for
more information).

Too late, in fact.  Sorry.
