nternet World to be largest Web event ever Sold out stand fueled by biz-to-biz e-commerce boom By Steve Gelsi, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 6:30 PM ET Oct 1, 1999 NewsWatch NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- The push into "business-to-business" e-commerce efforts looks to spark the biggest Web industry gathering ever at Fall Internet World. Taking place Oct. 4 - 8 at the Jacob Javitz Center in New York City, Fall Internet World sold out with about 750 companies signing up, up dramatically from 500 at last year's event. Overall attendance is expected to double over last year, with more than 35,000 pre-registered attendees. Over 3,127 international delegates plus nine international pavilions, representing 116 foreign companies, will take part. Over 2,500 journalists registered to attend. "In 1999, the Internet has clearly gone from a hip new technology for tech companies to being recognized as part of the fabric of the economy," Tom Kemp, chief executive of event organizer Penton Media (PME: news, msgs), told CBS.MarketWatch.com on Friday. "Everyone is thinking about it, from Citigroup to the corner flower shop." America Online (AOL: news, msgs) CEO Steve Case is expected in New York on Tuesday to meet with the press. Oracle's (ORCL: news, msgs) CEO Larry Ellison is also meeting the media on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Intel (INTC: news, msgs) CEO Craig Barrett will open the conference with a keynote address. Medium-sized fish expected at the conference include Web services firms such as DoubleClick (DCLK: news, msgs), streaming media maven RealNetworks (RNWK: news, msgs) and growing phone firm Qwest (QWST: news, msgs). But lots of tiny fish will be testing the water for the first time as well. See Internet World Web site. One example is Chicago-based DigitalWork.com, which hopes to file for an initial public offering early next year. The company is building a business as an online provider of services for entrepreneurs by offering resources such as a call-in help center, personnel services and public relations.
