TRADE EVENT Due 050396. Contact Point, Wayne Ebenfeld, 202/482-0480, Fax 202/482-3002. The U.S. Department of Commerce invites U.S. computer hardware, software and peripheral firms to participate in a video/catalog showcase at PC `96 in Melbourne, Australia, September 3-6, 1996. PC `96 Melbourne is one of Australia's largest information technology events, held this year at the new, world-class Exhibition Centre. PC `95 Melbourne attracted 283 exhibitors and 48,000 visitors. This year's show will feature a full range of computer hardware, software, peripherals, information services, publications, multimedia, CAD, networking, training and education, communications and office systems. Companies may participate in PC `96 by taking part in a U.S. video/catalog showcase. This enables companies to test the market, but spares advertising, travel and exhibiting expenses. For as little as $450, we will display and distribute their product literature at the show. Video presentations and software demonstrations are available for a slightly higher fee. U.S. companies will also be listed in a separate U.S. directory, and receive a customized list of distributors, dealers and users interested in their products or services. To receive further information and application materials, please phone or fax the above listed contact point.
