03/12/96 RMIUG Meeting - Web Fest '96

The Tuesday, March 12 meeting of the Rocky Mountain Internet Users Group (RMIUG) will feature a panel discussion called "Web Fest `96" on the strategic and business issues of commerce on the World Wide Web. The panelists will be Mark Richtermeyer (markr@customer.com), General Manager of Customer Communication Group's Online Division, Shelli Meyers (sam@indra.com), President of Indra's Net (a Boulder-based Internet Service Provider), Seth Maisa (trust@usa.net), Senior Editor of SKI Magazine and SkiNet, and Tim Enwall (Tim_Enwall@access.com), Senior Project Manager of Electronic Commerce for Access.

Panelists will be discussing case studies of actual businesses on the Internet, factors that lead to success, and business issues to consider when initiating a commercial Internet site. This non-technical presentation will be aimed at a broad audience, including businesses that are not yet familiar with the Internet, but are interested in the commercial possibilities of this rapidly developing medium.

The panelists will each give a brief 10 minute presentation followed by a question and answer session with the audience. Please send any questions that you may pose to buus@xor.com to give us an idea about what you are interested in hearing.

The meeting is Tuesday, March 12, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm (with optional 6:30 pm start for informal networking and refreshments). The meeting will be held at the Department of Commerce (NIST) Building at 325 Broadway in Boulder, one traffic light South of Baseline. This facility holds 510 people. Park in the Dept. of Commerce lot, go in the main door (faces East), and find the main auditorium just to the right of the main entrance. The meeting is free and open to the public, but we will be passing the hat to defray the room rental charge we incur.
