We invite all TeX enthusiasts, including past and present

grand reunion, to celebrate our accomplishments  with TeX, to look  
at the many ways it is being used at present, and discuss the role 
it could  play in the future.

discussions on TeX-related topics, that would be of interest to 
you at this conference.  We encourage your participation and 
would be delighted to meet you in Hawaii
