It seems show manager Softbank Comdex was a little hasty in its claim that it had changed the name of its annual UniForum open systems exhibition and conference to Pl@tform (CI No 3,011) because the proposal is still before the UniForum board and has yet to be voted on. It is now thought unlikely SoftBank Comdex will win approval for changing the name of the show in time for 1997’s festivities and that its first incarnation as Pl@tform will probably be in 1998.
