New Technology, Tomorrow's Innovations Meet Government Today at FOSE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The inaugural FOSE trade show and
conference for the government technology community launched in 1976 when the
58 cubic foot Cray I mainframe computer was introduced, the first 200 Apple I
single-board computers shipped for $500 apiece, and the CP/M operating system
with its eight-bit processor took the market by storm.
Now, thirty years later, FOSE 2006 continues to be the premier event where
25,000 government technology professionals explore solutions from over 550
exhibiting companies over three days of educational forums, visionary keynote
speakers, and high tech demonstrations. FOSE 2006 will take place March 7- 9,
2006 at the Washington, D.C. Convention Center.
"Thirty year's ago, the first Macintosh computer was an apple in Steven
Jobs' 20 year old eye. We expect that newly introduced technology such as
nanotechnology, organic circuitry, holographic imaging, and fuel cell
technology will be in the forefront of the exhibit hall in years ahead," said
Lorenz Hassenstein, Vice President, PostNewsweek Tech Media. "For three
decades FOSE has been integral in helping the Federal government pioneer the
implementation of technology on the bleeding edge. In fact, much of the
technology we use in our offices and homes today was first utilized by the
government. FOSE continues to offer today's latest advances and the promise
of tomorrow's innovations to the Federal sector."
"At FOSE's debut thirty years ago, high tech stand-outs were Dictaphones
and photocopiers," added Hassenstein. "FOSE's 550 exhibitors this year will
unveil over 200 new products to the market including the latest trends such as
wireless security, radio frequency identification (RFID), biometrics and
enterprise architecture. We'll have new products like Gateway's next
generation convertible notebook with a swiveling screen that quickly turns the
device into a tablet; Bravera's web forms-based electronic task management
system for storing, retrieving, and routing tasks throughout an enterprise;
and Symbol Technologies' rugged enterprise digital assistant with cellular,
Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth communications. Government technology professionals at
FOSE will learn how these innovations and hundreds of others apply to real
world scenarios and to get a glimpse of what the future holds."
