Sep. 23, 2001 12:00 AM
New York, NY, September 23, 2001 - In spite of what many thought might prove insurmountable obstacles, the international software industry has provided New York City today with a resounding indication that heavy hearts and thoughts are not to be permitted to become a barrier to returning to the business of business, including the Internet technology business. Delegates from various parts of the country and from around the world began gathering at the Hilton New York to attend the leading Java and Web services technology events on the East Coast this year, JDJEdge 2001 International Java™ Developer Conference & Expo and Web Services Edge 2001 International Web Services Conference & Expo East, both produced by SYS-CON Events, Inc. www.sys-con.com. Coming so soon after the devastating World Trade Center carnage, this is a strong sign that America's software developers and vendors alike are determined to go forward - coming together - to learn, to network, and to do business with each other. The first conference sessions were well attended, in one case so well that there was standing room only. The dual Conference and Expo is being held from today through Wednesday (September 23-26) at the Hilton New York, and participants have been arriving from the West Coast, the mid-West, and from New England, as well as from countries in Europe and beyond, to resume their common quest to develop and prosper from the continuing improvement of i-technology in all our lives and all our workplaces. The Expo floor will remain open on Monday, from 12 p.m.-7 p.m. and on Tuesday from 10:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Detailed information on JDJEdge 2001 and Web Services Edge 2001 East can be obtained from the conference Web sites at www.sys-con.com. The Conference education tracks have already begun today and the first JDJEdge 2001 keynote will be delivered by James Gosling, VP and fellow, Sun Microsystems and the "father" of Java, on Monday, September 24, at 10.15 a.m. Arriving today at the New York Hilton, Gosling commented: "My keynote appearance here at JDJ Edge 2001 was originally scheduled as part of a sequence of events in places as far away as Vienna and Stockholm. This is the only one that was not cancelled."
