Abstract

The Office Automation Society International (OASI) Third Annual Conference and Workshop for Office Professionals was held in Bloomington, Minnesota, U.S.A. from September 3–6, 1965.

Experts in Office Systems Work described their practical solutions to office problems that are applicable to a wide range of office sizes and functions. The program participants were drawn from the ranks of computer systems as well as from the management world. They represented both public and private sector organizations that have achieved leadership status in their fields.

The conference featured one day of professional update seminars, three days of conference sessions, and three days of hands-on workshops by suppliers of OA products and services.
