Top Practitioners to Meet in NYC to Set Technology Agenda for Doing Business on the Internet
Berkeley, CA (June 12, 1995)--Everybody wants to do business on the Internet, yet relatively few companies actually are. Why not?
The USENIX Association will gather leading technologists, business folks, and practitioners of electronic commerce to debate and discuss the issues at this by-invitation-only workshop to be held at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers on July 11-12, 1995
What new technology is coming down the road? What are the legal issues? How do you receive payment? How do you secure your network? Who are the buyers? How will the World Wide Web be improved and extended? During refereed paper presentations, panels and working groups, workshop attendees hope to answer these important questions and help set the technical direction for the future.
Daniel Schutzer of Citibank will give the keynote address "Electronic Banking and Electronic Commerce on the SuperInformation Highway." Jay M. Tenenbaum, Founder and CEO of EIT, and Chairman of CommerceNet's Board of Directors, will also speak.
Following on July 13-14, 1995, will be the USENIX Association's Electronic Commerce Tutorial Program, also at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers. The Tutorial Program will allow dissemination of information to the security specialists and managers; technical staff and managers; and system and network administrators expected to implement electronic commerce systems for their companies.
Since 1975 the USENIX Association has has served as a focal point for the community of engineers, scientists, and technicians working on the cutting edge of the computing world. USENIX technical conferences have become the essential meeting grounds for the presentation and discussion of the most advanced information on the development.
