WHY SHOULD YOU COME TO THIS CONFERENCE?

If you're looking for business contacts in Western Europe, CEE or the CIS,
this is the conference for you!

Organised by the Open Society Institute of the Soros foundations network,
the Summit facilitates the interaction between potential
business/development partners from across Europe.  This year's conference
themes are B2B services, B2C applications and education services.

The conference takes the form of a two-day meeting for delegates to interact
with potential business/development partners from across Europe. It is a
unique opportunity for Western European companies and organizations involved
in electronic publishing to develop partnerships with organizations from
Central and Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union.

It will provide an excellent opportunity to:

	*	attend FREE one-to-one clinics led by industry experts
	*	present your company's products and services
	*	hear industry experts discuss "Investing in Eastern Europe
-the Way Ahead"
	*	attend FREE briefing sessions on core topics
	*	meet with EC officials to discuss informally your project
plans

Additionally, there will be a strong emphasis this year on venture capital
and investment in both Eastern and Western European businesses
