[Michael Cohen]

-----Meeting Update-----
September 6--10, 1988

The first annual INNS meeting promises to be a historic event. Its program 
includes the largest selection of investigators ever assembled to present 
the full range of neural network research and applications. 

The meeting will bring together over 2000 scientists, engineers, students,
government administrators, industrial commercializers, and financiers. It
is rapidly selling out. Reserve now to avoid disappointment.
