Presents papers from a March 1997 conference, organized in sections on future e+e+ and hadron B factories, experimental results on B decays and theoretical interpretation, rare B decays, b spectroscopy, rare D decays and D-Dbar mixing, CKM matrix elements, and CPV in B decay. Subjects discussed include the theory of heavy baryons, extracting CKM matrix elements with HQET, semi-leptonic B decay, and weak interaction matrix elements from lattice QCD. No index.
