ADVISORY/Churchill Club Program Featuring: The First Annual Top 10 Tech Trends Debate Monday, Nov. 9, in Collaboration With The Red Herring.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- What are today's trends that will shape tomorrow's technologies? Who are the companies that will define the marketplace in 1999? Why limit yourself to isolated opinions in 10 point type? Instead, get a front-row seat as the techno-industry's leading (and most opinionated o·pin·ion·at·ed adj. Holding stubbornly and often unreasonably to one's own opinions. [Probably from obsolete opinionate : opinion + -ate1. ) visionaries rate and debate what the future holds for "the greater Silicon Valley." "Explicitly predictive stories (in contrast to the covertly predictive stuff reporters normally write) are the preemptive pre·emp·tive or pre-emp·tive adj. 1. Of, relating to, or characteristic of preemption. 2. Having or granted by the right of preemption. 3. a. military strikes of journalism. If you nail a prediction, you wipe out the competition. If you miss, you lose much of your authority." -- Jason Pontin Jason Pontin (born May 11, 1967) is an editor, journalist and publisher.

Notes: , editor and Top 10 Trends referee Be there when Red Herring's Editors Jason Pontin and Rafe Needleman take the ultimate editorial risk and publicly unveil their Top 10 Trends for 1999. Just like last year (http://www.redherring.com/about/release111097.html), they'll even throw in their infamous "anti-trend" prediction at no extra charge, and survivors will receive preview copies of the December issue of The Red Herring. Look at our lineup: John, Esther, Roger, Michael ... Whoa. Will our noted industry pundits cheer or jeer these editors? Will the meeting transcripts include deleted expletives? Will a pasta fight erupt? With this panel, anything could happen. And we haven't even factored in our usual live audience of Silicon Valley's best and brightest -- all with an opinion of their own. (Good luck, Jason.) Sponsored by the Churchill Club and The Red Herring. Special Precautionary Note: If police presence is ultimately required, the sponsors may be forced to cancel the "Second Annual Top 10 Tech Trends Debate." -0-
