NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 1999--
Conference to Address Strategies for Information Access, Anytime, Anywhere
Thought leaders, information newsmakers and technology innovators will take an in-depth look at convergence and knowledge management during a one-day conference in New York City on June 8, 1999.
"Convergence and Knowledge Management: Toward the All Informed Network" explores the new frontier of making information and knowledge available through a variety of technologies, anytime, anywhere. The conference is hosted by Strategic Thinkers, the conference division of The Basex Group.
Some of the world's most respected authorities on these subjects will meet at the American Express Tower in the World Financial Center with senior executives from around the world to learn about the latest trends and issues in fact-filled sessions.
"As we approach the new century and a true networked economy, the ability to access all the information you need and communicate with anyone, anywhere, anytime is a must," commented Unisphere Solutions CEO Martin Clague, a keynote speaker at the conference.
"As information overload increases, society, especially the business world, is moving toward a model of
selective information retrieval," said David M. Goldes, Managing Director of The Basex Group and a panelist at the conference. "The convergence of information technologies plays a vital role in managing
corporate knowledge."
