Technology Forum Examines
Opportunities in a Global Digital Economy
DALLAS, Texas (SMU) -- Three
area leaders in technology education are joining forces to present a half-day
forum designed to provide insights into the key business and technology
trends, challenges and opportunities of the global digital economy. On
Thursday, May 23, 2002, Texas eComm, the Linda and Mitch Hart eCenter
and SMU's Cox School of Business will host Global Trends in the Digital
Economy at the Four Seasons Resort & Club, Dallas at Las Colinas.
The morning's activities will kick off with breakfast at 7:30 a.m., followed
by a keynote address by Admiral Bobby Inman, managing director, Gefinor
Ventures, and a member of the Board of Directors of SBC Communications.
The forum will then break into two panels: one focused on transportation
and logistics and another addressing telecommunications. Each panel will
be led by an industry expert, including Gary Donahee, president, The Americas,
Nortel Networks; Ray Greer, executive vice president of i2 Technologies;
and Terry Jones, president and CEO, Travelocity.com.
Attendees are encouraged to
submit questions ahead of time for panelists to address during their panel
discussions, as well as to participate in the discussions. "Question
& Answer" sessions will follow each panel discussion. By participating
in the half-day forum, attendees will gain insight into the digital economy
and learn how to leverage technologies and take advantage of business
opportunities within this new global marketplace. The forum will conclude
after lunch.
