Novell's Second Annual Edge Conference Kicks Off Worldwide Event Tours U.S., The Netherlands, Thailand, and Australia in June

May 24, 1995--Orem, Utah--With the challenge "Change your Perspective and Change the World," Novell Education kicks off its second annual Edge Conference June 5 in Boca Raton, Florida. The Edge Conference is exclusive to Novell Education's authorized training channel and select industry partners and participants.

"Partnership is the heart and history of Novell Education," said Jerry Christensen, Director of Business Development for Novell Education. "Our partners provide us with the strongest channel in the industry. With them, Novell Education will drive global pervasive computing through 'pervasive learning,' and create the infrastructure to support one billion users."

SHARING PERSPECTIVES

Edge provides a unique forum for Novell Education and its partners to share perspectives. It is also an opportunity for Novell's partners to network and share creative business solutions. Robert J. Frankenberg, Novell President, Chair, and CEO will keynote the event live in Boca Raton and via video at other locations.

Edge breakout sessions promise lively interaction on topics such as "Applications Training: New Perspectives and Opportunities," and "Taking IT Training into the Next Century." In addition, Novell Authorized Education Centers (NAECs) and Novell Education Academic Partners (NEAPs) will learn how to maximize their profits and make the best use of their resources. New to Edge this year, 26 vendors will provide exhibits that offer additional solutions and demonstrations for running better businesses.

NOVELL EDUCATION

Novell Education's mission is to drive global pervasive computing through quality education programs and products; its purpose is to increase literacy on Novell products and technologies and thereby foster Novell's success worldwide. Novell Education plays a critical role in providing true pervasive computing by building the infrastructure of support and literacy necessary to drive and sustain that vision.

Since 1988, Novell has championed a leveraged model of reaching student customers, wherein NAECs around the globe provide instructor-led training and self-study options for student customers. In 1994, Novell partners trained half-a-million Novell student customers; in 1995 Novell's 1,300 NAECs and NEAPs will increase that number to three-quarters-of-a-million.
