Apple's WWDC Exhibit Fair Nears Capacity, -- Longer Hours -- Bigger & Better in 2003 Westlake Village, California - May 27, 2003 - Xplain Corporation, manager of Apple's WWDC Exhibit Fair for many years, announced today that the 2003 WWDC Exhibit Fair has already exceeded 2002 totals -- today, over 60 companies are signed up and we still have weeks before the official "Grand Opening" on Monday, June 23. This makes it one of the largest Exhibit Fairs at WWDC ever. Now with new expanded hours to help exhibitors make the most of the opening day of the event, the Exhibit Fair is shaping up to be one of, if not the, best in the conference's history. With each turnkey station package, Apple has included one full conference pass, providing yet another tremendous value-added benefit for WWDC exhibitors. "The WWDC Exhibit Fair offers an amazing and comprehensive way for it's third-party Apple affiliates to reach the heart of the Mac community" said Susan Worley, Xplain's Events Manager. According to Michal Anne Rogondino, CEO, Rocket Communications, "We participated at WWDC 2002 (Conference & Exhibit Fair) unsure of the kinds of contacts we would build or the breadth of exposure we would gain. After only two days, we made more than 50 new contacts ranging from engineers to CEO's. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to meet so many new people!" EXHIBIT FAIR GRAND OPENING WWDC's Exhibit Fair will now be opened immediately after Steve Jobs' keynote address. Developers will be able to see the hottest items from an ever growing stable of exhibitors. Apple Developer Relations senior management team will be on hand at the opening of the Exhibit Fair Monday to welcome attendees and meet with exhibitors. This is the perfect opportunity to rub elbows with these influential developer advocates within Apple.
