DUBLIN, Calif., Feb 24, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
SY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), the largest enterprise software and services
company exclusively focused on managing and mobilizing information,
today announced that it will host a series of regional TechWave user
conferences worldwide in the second half of 2009.

In today's economic climate, many companies, including Sybase(R)
customers, are facing restrictions on travel and non-critical
expenditures. In addition, a significant percentage of TechWave
attendees represent countries outside of North America. To help address
these factors, Sybase has decided to move to a global regional
conference model and bring its user conference closer to its customers.

"Sybase is doing what all tech marketers need to do right now: be
nimble, opportunistic, and change-oriented. IDC research shows that, in
general, customers prefer more intimate, localized events," said Richard
Vancil, Vice President, Executive Advisory Group, IDC.

"We want to do our utmost to ensure that customers around the world
continue to benefit from attending our annual TechWave conference. Hence
to make it easier for them to attend, we have decided to take our user
conference to them," said Dr. Raj Nathan, Chief Marketing Officer at
Sybase. "On the heels of the
best quarter and year in our company history, we're fortunate to be
able to take TechWave on the road."

Many loyal attendees have returned year after year for in-depth
technical training, networking activities, inside information on new
product developments, tech support, and face-to-face interaction with
Sybase experts, partners and peers.

"As part of our ongoing commitment to our customer education, we're
dedicating additional resources to bring the training closer to them,"
added Dr. Raj Nathan.

Sybase will be hosting a number of two-day regional events in major
cities around the world, throughout the second half of 2009. These
regional events will contain both business and technical content. For
