Hambrecht & Quist Hosts Largest Technology Conference
04:16 p.m Apr 16, 1998 Eastern
SAN FRANCISCO, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The largest investment banking
conference focused on technology will devote four days to the rapidly expanding
technology sectors: Communications Technologies, Internet Technology and
Services, Business and Information Services, Knowledge-Based Software,
Enterprise Software, Semiconductors, Telecommunications, Technical Systems and
PC Hardware, Peripherals and Distribution.
Hambrecht & Quist's 26th Annual Technology Conference April 27-30
will bring together more than 3,000 attendees, many of whom are
institutional investors and venture capitalists from the United
States, Europe and Asia.
"When applied to technology, virtually every traditional economic measure --
including market capitalization, output, capacity utilization and rapidity of product
cycle -- reveals a dynamic industry moving toward economic leadership," said
Daniel H. Case, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hambrecht & Quist
(NYSE: HQ). "Over the years, the conference has increasingly reflected this broad
change and showcased the companies leading it. This year's record number of
presenting companies is no exception."
"Technology is reshaping the U.S. economy, and quite possibly that of the entire
world as well. Similarly, conventional wisdom has discounted the notion of a return
of inflation any time soon -- a by-product of the productivity gains from this
sweeping technology revolution," said Bruce M. Lupatkin, H&Q's Managing
Director of Research.
A keynote welcome address by Bob Herbold, Executive Vice President
and Chief Operating Officer of Microsoft Corporation will kick off
the conference at 7:15 a.m. on Monday, April 27. A second keynote
luncheon address by Dan Case, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Hambrecht & Quist will take place on Monday, April 27.
Other companies presenting at the conference are: Sun Microsystems,
Dell Computer, Sanmina Corporation, America Online, Netscape
Communications Corporation, Yahoo Inc., Lycos Inc., Lucent
Technologies, US Web Corporation, Siebel Systems, Inc.,
3Com Corporation, Amazon.com and Rambus Incorporated.
