Washington, D.C. April 29, 1999 - The Internet Society (ISOC) and CMP Media Inc. today announced that Internet Week has been appointed the official domestic publication for ISOC's INET'99 conference, taking place in San Jose, California June 22-25, 1999.
"We're excited about the relationship with Internet Week," said Martin Burack, Executive Director of the Internet Society. "Everyone who wants to know what's going on in the industry reads it. INET'99 attracts the people who are making things happen, so we have a great fit."
INET is the premier event in the Internet industry and provides an international platform at which the world's leaders and pioneers of cyberspace meet to exchange experiences, share information, and plan their next steps that will shape the future of the Internet. INET'99 is expected to attract an estimated 3,000 attendees from more than 100 countries to address the impact of the Internet on commerce, education and societies throughout the world.
"INET is where the Internet pioneers, gurus and innovators come together," said Patricia Schnaidt, publisher of Internet Week. "InternetWeek is proud to be appointed its official domestic publication for the second year in a row."
Multiple conference tracks will address critical issues ranging from network engineering to user needs, from the redefinition of commerce to the Internet's role as a conduit for social change, and from the transformation of education to regulatory issues. Information on INET'99 is available on the Internet at http://www.isoc.org/inet99/
INET'99 is preceded by a workshop for educators, a developing countries networking symposium, technical tutorials, and a Network Training Workshop that -during the past six years- has taught more than 1,200 people from developing countries how to design, install, maintain and manage Internet networks.
