Here is what is happening! They are introducing "Push-Pull" concept which WILL create revenues! Just wait!
SAN MATEO, Calif., March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet Showcase today announced the first-ever product and technology showcase devoted to "push" technologies. Sponsored by TIBCO, The Information Bus Company, the one-day event will take place on Wednesday, April 30, the last day of the conference. Upside Magazine is the producer of David Coursey's Internet Showcase.
"Push technology is the enabling technology that turns the promise of the Internet into reality," explained executive producer David Coursey. "Without the ability to deliver content effectively to consumers, the potential of the Internet is limited. I am very excited to be working with TIBCO to bring together the first-ever showcase devoted to the tools and technologies that enable effective delivery of information, news, and entertainment."
"David Coursey is famous for cutting through the hype of computer technologies," said Vivek Ranadive, president and
CEO of TIBCO. "We're confident that the Push Technology Summit @ Internet Showcase will present an informative
and objective analysis of this important technology and its impact on the future of the Internet."
Internet Showcase is expected to draw a sell-out crowd of industry leaders, analysts, investors and media for a hands-on look at the hottest products and technologies for the Internet and Intranets. During its first two days, Internet
Showcase will have two parts:
* On-stage presentations in which product developers show their products in brief 6-10 minute demonstrations.
* Demonstration areas where conference attendees can receive in-depth, personal demonstrations of the products being
shown.
On the third day of the conference, a completely new set of demonstrators will take center stage -- and replace
previous demonstrators in the demonstration areas. "It's like two separate conferences in one," said David Bunnell,
publisher of Upside Magazine. "What we're doing is providing our attendees with a sort of reality check on the Internet.
This technology is crucial to the future of the Net. By focusing on it exclusively for one day during Internet Showcase,
we are acknowledging its importance to our industry as a whole."
Getting Invited to Internet Showcase
Approximately 30 products and technologies will be invited for presentation during the Push Technology Summit @
Internet Showcase. Companies with a product or technology that exemplifies the best of "push" technology should

In addition, a few demonstration slots remain for the earlier portion of the conference. "Regardless of where you think
you might fit in the conference schedule, now is the time to let us know why your product should be among the hottest
of the hot products for l997 and beyond," Coursey said. To submit a product or technology for Internet Showcase,
send email to David Coursey (david@coursey.com), or call Sarah Walker (415-577-2545) to schedule an appointment.
Coursey gives preference to new products and technologies that will be shown for the first time at Internet Showcase. But, Coursey adds, nearly anything in the Internet and Intranet arena could be chosen, depending on the product's "sizzle factor."
