SG Cowen Technology Conference to Focus on Year 2000 Boston, Sept. 8 (Bloomberg) -- SG Cowen Securities Corp.'s 26th annual fall technology conference will focus on issues such as corporate spending on the Year 2000 computer glitch and will feature investment presentations by about 90 public companies. The conference, which runs tomorrow to Friday, will feature a panel with executives from Ascend Communications Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. discussing the future of networking architecture. Microsoft Corp. Chief Financial Officer Greg Maffei will be interviewed by SG Cowen analyst Andrew Brosseau about the company's future. Cowen will release a study, done with PlugIn Datamation magazine, about corporate technology spending at the conference, though Brosseau declined to disclose the details of the study before the conference. Topics will include who's gaining or losing market share and how companies are spending money on hardware, software and networking, said Brosseau. ''We can walk away with a sense of the overall technology environment,'' said Brosseau. Speakers include Compaq Computer Corp. Chief Financial Officer Earl Mason; Dell Computer Corp. Chief Financial Officer Tom Meredith; Sun Microsystems Inc. President Ed Zander; Computer Sciences Corp. Chief Financial Officer Lee Level; and Computer Associates International Inc. President Sanjay Kumar. Other companies that will be featured include Cambridge Technology Partners Inc.; Shiva Corp.; BMC Software Inc.; and 3Com Corp. The conference will be at the Marriott Long Wharf Hotel in Boston. About 1,000 people are expected, including money managers, venture capitalists and analysts. The conference will also feature about 50 private technology companies, said Brosseau. o~~~ O
