Major Digital and Internet Imaging Announcements to Highlight ImageScape 2000 - "E-Commerce and Imaging" at Spring

(Weymouth, MA) March, 27 2000... Media Breakfast Event Features Over 20 Vendors Not Seen on Internet World Show Floor

InfoTrends Research Group, Inc. revealed today that ImageScape(TM) 2000 - "E-Commerce and Imaging" -- a premier event held the week of Spring Internet World in Los Angeles -- will feature major announcements from many of its 36 industry-leading sponsors. Nearly 40% of the participating companies are hot new Internet start-ups, and many are not exhibiting at Spring Internet World, so this invitational champagne breakfast is a must-attend event for press and media who cover digital imaging, Internet imaging or e-business news.

ImageScape 2000 will be held the morning of April 6, from 7AM - 11AM at the Hotel Inter-Continental in Los Angeles. InfoTrends will shuttle attendees from selected hotels to the breakfast and drop them off at the Los Angeles Convention Center afterwards. Attendees will enjoy a free champagne breakfast and giveaways, and have the opportunity to complete a full day's work before ever entering the Internet World show itself.

"We are excited to have such leading innovators all together in one location, driving digital imaging trends that will shape the future of e-business," said Kristy Holch, principal at InfoTrends Research Group. "Some of these companies will discuss ideas that are still on the drawing board, while others will unveil new products and technologies for the first time in a public forum. ImageScape 2000 is the place where these imaging and Internet leaders will introduce next-generation solutions to the media."
