Confused
over what you have been reading and hearing lately about the
Y2K problem, commonly known as the millennium bug? Undecided
whether your small business or your personal life will be directly
affected? Or wondering if the Y2K is a real threat and if it
will directly impact individuals? Depending upon what is read
or heard the Y2K is depicted either a total disaster or an insignificant
menace. It can become a difficult task to make sense of the chaos.
On May 4 at the Danbury
Hospital auditorium, Danbury Area Computer Society will present
its next Year 2000 conference, Y2K II. The presentation will
focus on people and not how government, institutions and big
business are coping. DACS' own Ed Heere will lead a panel of
experts focusing on how the individual PC user and small business
entrepreneur can prepare.
DACS panelists already confirmed include Lori Scott, Y2K coordinator
for Danbury
Hospital; Tom McIntyre, former president of DACS and an investment
manager; Bob Mitchell of the Connecticut Year 2000 Office; and
Mary Beth Rippert, a corporate personnel consultant and expert
on employment issues in the Millennium.
The panelists of this event, co-sponsored by DACS, Western Connecticut State University and
the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce will sort out the confusion,
make sense of the Y2K and will give suggestions to small businesses
and individuals on how to prepare for the Millennium.
