WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Uncle Sam's $76.3B technology
checkbook is drawing purveyors of the latest high tech products and
services to the Federal spending capital to meet with 18,000 government
buyers at FOSE 2007. The annual gathering will take place on March 20-22,
2007 at the Washington DC Convention Center.
"Companies small and large recognize that the public sector is a source
of stable, year on year business," said Bill Howell, vice president and
general manager for 1105 Government Information Group. "This year, new
market imperatives for technology have become interwoven with agency
missions, and firms are stepping up to capture their fair share of this
growing market. Homeland security, the escalating needs of the Global War
on Terrorism, and natural disasters are just a few of the drivers of growth
in government spending. FOSE 2007 will bring over 550 exhibiting companies
in front of the buying community with the biggest pocket book in the
world."
"The landscape of government opportunity has expanded since 9-11,"
continued Howell. "Input, the market's leading research firm, projects 14%
growth in the IT budget for the Department of Homeland Security alone. As
the market expands, so too has FOSE's importance to the government
technology community grown. FOSE embraces the entire buying community, from
public sector executives and technology professionals to systems
integrators and the suppliers that support them."
Now in its 31st year, FOSE 2007 will take place on Tuesday - Thursday,
March 20 - 22 at the Washington DC Convention Center. Registration is free
for government and contractors at http://www.fose.com.
