Digital This Week

This September 6, 1983, issue of Digital This Week focuses on the company’s recent "Sales Symposium" and "DECTown Family Day" held at the Hynes Auditorium in Boston.

Key highlights include:

• Sales Symposium: Described as one of the largest sales meetings ever held by the company, the event gathered the entire international sales force to emphasize unity, showcase a wide array of Digital products, and align strategies under the theme "Under Full Sail."
• DECTown Family Day: Following the symposium, the space was transformed into "DECTown," a 60,000-square-foot interactive display designed to give over 10,000 employees and their families a hands-on experience with the company's computer systems and professional environments.
• Corporate News: The newsletter includes announcements regarding upcoming blood drives, a "Dogs" charity event, various sporting group meetings, educational course offerings, and professional seminars.
• Marketplace: The issue features a classified section ("The Marketplace") where Digital employees could list items for sale, ranging from home appliances and automobiles to furniture and recreational equipment.
• Employee Feedback: The newsletter concludes with testimonials from various global sales representatives who praised the symposium for fostering a greater sense of company cohesion, marketing clarity, and enthusiasm for future growth.
