SAN JOSE, Calif., March 21, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- MEDIA ADVISORY --
WHAT: Fundraising Forum is delighted to announce a very special evening event addressing the topic of Homeland Security & The Private Sector. This open event will feature speakers Larry Stovall of Sun Microsystems, and Keynote Governor Mike Leavitt of Utah. Governor Leavitt is a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council, the past chairman of the National Governors Association and a leading national voice on homeland security, federal-state relations, environmental progress, competency- measured education and online government. Included in the agenda are presentations from emerging technology companies addressing the needs of Homeland Security, as well as Venture Capitalists who are funding enterprises within this space. The evening begins with an Emerging Technologies Reception showcasing current homeland security- based technologies. America's information infrastructure is a source of great power and considerable vulnerability. Modern information technology is essential not only for making the U.S. more prosperous but for making our homeland more secure. From the start-up community to the corporate, there has been a definitive rush by vendors to take advantage of the emergent government security market. But what are the government's priorities in addressing Homeland Security? And what opportunities exist for the private sector today? Fundraising Forum's Homeland Security Event will investigate the opportunities of homeland security in the private sector, and the response from our local entrepreneurial and investment communities. WHEN: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 5:30 - 9:00 p.m. WHERE: Hyatt St. Claire 302 South Market St. San Jose, CA Registration fee is $90; $75 for members. Special discounts apply for affiliates of Fundraising Forum and groups of 5 or more. For more information, call 650-838-9500 or visit www.fundraisingforum.com/hls
