INPUT NEEDED: Forum 2000, London, England

[Nancy Hoft <nhoft -at- WORLD-READY -dot- COM>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm on the Program Committee for a conference called Forum 2000,
which will be held in London, England in the year 2000 (probably in
the Fall). One of our charges is to come up with a theme for the
conference by 03 October, 1997, so that the organizing committee can
vote on it and start developing marketing collateral.

Because we'd like to see ALL of you attend the conference, we like
to invite you to share your ideas on what the theme might be.

If you have an idea for a FORUM theme, please email it directly to
me, Nancy Hoft, at nhoft -at- world-ready -dot- com, by 03 October 1997.  I'll
compile your ideas and make sure they get to the organizing
committee.

Also, is there someone who you think would make a great keynote
speaker as related to your theme suggestion?  (Our preference is to
have a speaker who's based in Europe.) We'll collect your ideas on
this, too!

Thanks in advance for your input!  Details about theme requirements,
INTECOM,  and FORUM 2000 follow.

Cheers, Nancy Hoft

INTECOM sponsors a forum every five years. The last conference was
held in Dortmund, Germany, in 1995.  I was a participant and can
tell you it was a great experience professionally and socially.

The FORUM 1995 theme was Disappearing Borders.

Theme Requirements:

- It should be a short phrase, under five words if possible.
- It should reflect the date: the new millennium!

European Union; and so on.
