PC Expo's E-Business Pavilion and Seminar Highlights New Strategies in E-Commerce

The E-Business Pavilion at the 18th annual PC EXPO, sponsored by Internet Week and The New York E-commerce Association, will demonstrate cutting-edge e-commerce solutions that enable businesses to leverage Web technologies -- providing world-class customer service.

PC EXPO (http://www.pcexpo.com/), the IT Event for Business, will be held June 27-29, 2000, (conference program begins June 26) at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City and will feature more than 500 of the world's leading IT vendors.

PC EXPO's new expanded conference program -- Redefining Business Computing -- includes an E-business Strategies Track, the first soup-to-nuts guide to building a successful e-business (specifically for small to mid-sized businesses). The E-business Strategies seminar will be held Tuesday, June 27, at the Jacob Javits Center, and is designed specifically for small to mid-size businesses.

"This live interactive event is based on rigorous research that was the basis for Internet Week's first annual Internet Week 100, a ranking of the 100 most successful E-businesses building the Internet economy," said Rob Preston, editor-in-chief of Internet Week. "Internet Week is committed to breaking new ground and expanding content and we wanted to give PC EXPO attendees the opportunity to talk to some of these E-business leaders and find out how they are leveraging Internet technologies for the greatest results."

The E-business Track will show business professionals how to create world- class storefronts, fulfillment and customer service systems - quickly, easily, and more cost-effectively. The track will feature three one-hour sessions on such timely and important topics as: "World-Class, Web Focused Customer Service," "The Back-End: 'Best Practices' Fulfillment Strategies" and "Building An Insanely Great Web Storefront."
