WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA — March 29, 2001 — Xplain Custom Services today
announced the return of the official “WWDC Exhibitor Fair” to Apple’s
Worldwide Developer Conference (May 21-25, 2001). In the exhibit area,
developers will showcase their newest products which support Mac OS X and
other Apple technologies.

“WWDC Exhibitor Fair is the focal point for seeing the latest technical
wares on the Mac,” said Neil Ticktin, CEO, Xplain Corporation and Publisher
of MacTech Magazine. “With a mission focused on serving the
developer/technical communities, the WWDC Exhibitor Fair will have vendors
of all types and sizes showing off the best the Mac has to offer. If you’re
just beginning as a programmer, developing web content, managing networks,
or have been a part of the developer community for years, you’ll have the
opportunity to meet the experts face-to-face, explore the cutting edge of
technology and will learn about new products for the Mac worldwide.”
Ticktin continues.

year at Macworld Expo and other high-tech venues, completely sold out this
exhibit fair space last year — at Apple’s WWDC 2000.
