WASHINGTON, March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- FOSE 2007 opens tomorrow, March
20, as 25,000 public sector technology professionals converge at the
Washington DC Convention Center for the largest technology event for
government. Over 500 companies are exhibiting, and government and industry
leaders are delivering major policy addresses. Now in its 31st year, FOSE
2007 provides a forum for government technology leaders to examine such
imperatives as homeland security, the global war on terrorism, health
informatics, identity theft, and a host of other issues. FOSE 2007 takes

Center, and free admission is available to public sector and education

"FOSE 2007 is a pathway to 'FOSE 2.0' as we bring to our communities a
360 degree perspective on how to buy, build and manage IT solutions in this
$117.5 billion technology market," said Bill Howell, vice president and
general manager, 1105 Government Information Group. "FOSE delivers the full
spectrum of buyers. First, there are the 'chiefs' at the top -- chief
information security officers, chief information officers, chief
acquisition or financial officers -- who formulate our government's global
IT vision. Then, there are the technical teams and program managers who
support the agency's mission with IT tools. And, just as critical, there
are the systems integrators and contractors who collaborate with government
in executing the vision day to day. FOSE delivers the rapidly growing,
dynamic market to meet with the most innovative companies in the word."
