For the past 20 years--where has the business world converged to get the latest information on technology products and solutions? PC EXPO - New York's venerable technology trade show. And for the second year, PC EXPO is part of TECHXNY - a week-long showcase of the most dynamic business technology players and products in the world. All of this excitement will take place June 25-27, 2002 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York (www.techxny.com).

PC EXPO's roots date back to the dawn of the personal computer, and just as the personal computer has evolved, so too has the EXPO. Today, "PC" stands for Pervasive Computing, the collection of innovative computing solutions, technologies and products that surround large and small businesses. This year, PC EXPO is packed with special events, focused pavilions and exciting exposition and content partners that will make the conference of June 25-27 uniquely rich and educational.

The PC EXPO show floor features the latest business solutions including: PCs and PDAs, security, Internet and wireless solutions, CRM, infrastructure, storage, networking, and the latest in Linux. The show floor will also be alive with content, tech trails, guided tours, customized attendee mapping and the following special interest pavilions: Solutions for Growing Businesses; Women in Technology; Financial Technology; Recordable DVD, Storage & High Availability; Internet Telecom, Microsoft Partners, and Palm Partners.
