Internet Newsletter for Lawyers |
|---|
Top legal IT consultant Neil Cameron as well as a variety of business leaders are also
contributing to this two-day event. There are also two workshops available on 15th June,
exploring technological support issues for e-commerce.
It all looks very interesting and highly relevant to many readers of this newsletter. I will be there
myself. I am taking part in a panel session but I shall stay for the whole 2 days.

A very welcome new resource.
