XML OASIS at COMDEX

[Scott McGrath <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS is excited to announce that COMDEX Fall 2001, the IT
Marketplace where buyers and sellers meet, learn and make
technology
decisions, will feature the XML OASIS Pavilion, 1500 square feet
of exhibit
space reserved for OASIS member companies.

COMDEX Fall 2001 is expected to attract 200,000 attendees to Las
Vegas,
Nevada, 12-16 November. The conference will feature keynote
presentations
by OASIS Sponsors including Bill Gates of Microsoft, John Chambers
of CISCO
and Larry Ellison of Oracle.

More than 2,300 companies from around the world will exhibit at
COMDEX
Fall.  The show floor will be segmented into eight technology
areas, plus
ten special partner pavilions including the XML OASIS. This allows
buyers
to shop for complete solutions rather than individual products and
gives
OASIS member companies the opportunity to position themselves in
front of a targeted community of buyers.

The XML OASIS is a great opportunity for OASIS Sponsors and
Contributors to
showcase their XML-based solutions to a large, targeted
audience--at a
fraction of the cost of a traditional COMDEX booth. Even if you're
already
exhibiting at COMDEX, space in the XML OASIS positions your
company as a
leading XML solution provider. Special emphasis will
be placed on ebXML.

Through increased promotion and exposure designed to heighten
brand
awareness and drive buyer traffic, the XML OASIS Pavilion offers a
return
on your objectives that you can count on.
