Forum 2000 1-00 (March 2000) by Gerry Gentle United Kingdom

We currently have some 90 activators from 10 countries whose abstracts have been approved by the Programme Committee. The programme will thus be varied and truly international; a programme not to be missed. All attendees will take away added value for our profession.

We have now secured our keynote address speaker; he is Graham Whitehead (British Telecommunications plc, Communications Consultants Group - Advanced Communications Engineering Division). He will enlighten us on the future of communications from the Telecommunications and IT industry viewpoint and what we as communicators of knowledge should be aware.

Evening/Partner Programmes: The Millennium Dome in London was officially opened by the Queen on New Years eve. For note you may wish to know that she traveled to the Dome, from central London, on the Boat that we have secured for our Dinner/Dance cruise on Tuesday 13th June; nothing but the best for Forum 2000 delegates! Also, the London Eye commissioning is to schedule, where those who do not mind heights can ride the largest ferries wheel in the world to view London and the surrounding countryside, up to 50 miles radius!"
