WHAT: ASPEC 2000: The First Technology-to-Business Event for the ASP
      Industry

ASPEC 2000 is the application service provider industry's first ever
technology-to-business event, where decision-makers of small- to
medium-sized and Global 2000 companies in various vertical markets can
learn in layman's or business terms from providers of technology
solutions what will enhance and streamline their business practices.
The event includes keynote speaker General Colin L. Powell, USA
(Ret.), and a full conference program.

Unlike many tradeshows, ASPEC 2000 will offer a unique buy-sell
opportunity for attendees and exhibitors to schedule appointments in
advance, allowing for a customized exchange of information. In
addition, ASPEC 2000 will feature special technology focus sections
geared toward several markets currently experiencing a boom in
Internet-based technology. These industries will include healthcare,
financial services, education, manufacturing, and human resources.
Specific areas of the exhibit floor will be designated to providers in
these industries, and tracks within the conference program will
highlight the benefits of the ASP to these industries.

ASPEC 2000 is endorsed by the ASP Industry Consortium (ASPIC), the
leading ASP industry association and advocacy group more than 500
companies. Founding Sponsor Citrix Systems, Inc. is a global leader in
application server software and services that offer "Digital
Independence(TM)" - the ability to run any application on any device
over any connection, wireless to Web.
