COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF AUGUST 19,1998 PSA#2162GSA SPONSORS COMDEX Y2K PAVILION AT COMDEX/FALL '98 (11/16-20/1998) --
LAS VEGAS July 23, 1998 AN OPEN LETTER TO THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
INDUSTRY SUBJECT: GSA SPONSORS COMDEX Y2K PAVILION AT COMDEX/FALL 1998
As you know, information technology helps Federal and state government
agencies and business enterprises deliver a wide variety of services
that directly affect the health, welfare, and security of every citizen
of the United States. If government and industry do not work together,
some of those information technology systems may not be able to meet
their important missions at the turn of the century due to their
inability to accommodate the change from the year 1999 to the year
2000. The Government and information technology industry are working
together on this problem to ensure that Federal agencies acquire only
products and systems that are Year 2000 compliant. This coordinated
effort is necessary to ensure that our citizens receive necessary
services upon which they depend. To assist in the dissemination of
information about the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products which
are year 2000 compliant, the General Services Administration (GSA) has
been working together with the CIO Council Year 2000 Committee and the
Industry Advisory Council (IAC). In addition to our website,
http://y2k.policyworks.gov which came online December 1, 1997, the GSA
is sponsoring the COMDEX Y2K Pavilion at COMDEX/Fall '98, this
November 16-20, in Las Vegas, Nevada. We have chosen to work closely
with the organizers of COMDEX because we believe that their audience
seeks information about your Y2K compliant products and services.
COMDEX/Fall '98 offers the right venue at the right time to make a
marketing push to this highly qualified audience of over 220,000 IT
professionals. We encourage you to take advantage of this excellent
marketing opportunity to demonstrate your Y2K solutions. For complete
exhibitor information, For complete information about exhibiting with
us in the COMDEX Y2K Pavilion, please contact Mr. Bill Mahan, Director
of Pavilion Sales by phone at 781-433-1817 or fax 781-444-7722 or
