Montreal, QC, Canada


ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 9, 2002 -- Arbortext, Inc., the only global

publishing of information to multiple media types from a single source of
content, today announced that its seventh Annual Arbortext User Group
International (AUGI) conference, scheduled for May 13-17, 2002, in
Montreal, will be its largest ever.

“We’ve experienced a tremendous response to the extended tutorial
schedule, additional session tracks, largest-ever partner gallery, and
customer case stories being presented,” said PG Bartlett, Vice President
Marketing for Arbortext.  “This success arises from a combination of the
critical role of Arbortext software within our customers, the outstanding
reputation for excellence that the AUGI conference has earned over the
years, and the leadership of the AUGI Executive Committee who ensures
that conference speakers cover the topics that are foremost on our
customers’ minds.”
