' Year 2000: experiences of managing the industrial risk 2-day seminar jointly organised by Professional Group A1 (Software engineering) and the Safety-Critical Systems Club to be held at the Tower Hotel, London on 8 - 9 October 1998. Many organisations have been solving their year 2000 problems, and we can learn from their experiences. This event offers the opportunity to do so. It brings together speakers from a variety of industrial sectors - including petrochemicals, food processing, off-shore - to report on the measures they have taken, difficulties they have encountered, how they have dealt with them, and their successes. If you are seeking discussion of Y2K solutions, this is the event at which you will find it. Who should attend? The seminar is intended to inform all persons with responsibility in their organisations, for example strategic planners and managers at all levels, project managers, safety officers, software engineers, systems and IT managers and, of course, year 2000 project managers and participants. ... iee.org.uk
