WingateWeb’s Events Technology Key to Delivering Novell BrainShare 2003

LINDON, UT – 1/23/2003 – For the first time, Novell BrainShare 2003 registration launches with integrated housing, scheduling, content management and attendee experience entirely powered by WingateWeb’s Conference 3.0™. This marks the fourth year that Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVL) has used WingateWeb as their event management solution.

“This year BrainShare registration is integrated with Novell Login to centralize all data and simplify the process,” said Mike Morgan, Director of Corporate Events for Novell. “In keeping with the one Net concept, this type of integration is essential to make BrainShare 2003 registration a positive experience.”

BrainShare attendees are already applauding the registration process, which launched in December. According to long-time BrainShare attendee and technology columnist, Dave Kearns, “The registration process appears to be, if possible, even smoother than last year.” Kearns continues, “…each year the process has gotten better.”

WingateWeb, in conjunction with Novell, the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau and lodging services provided by Passkey, has delivered a fully integrated solution for Novell and other high-tech companies.

The beautiful Wasatch Mountains will again serve as the backdrop for this event held in the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, UT from April 13 – 18, 2003. For more information, visit http://www.novell.com/brainshare/.

“Salt Lake City is the perfect location for technology conferences with plenty of winter and summer activities close by and the luxury of one of the most modern convention facilities in the Western U.S.” Says Cliff Doner, Executive Vice President of the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau

Dianne Binger, President of the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau adds, “Technology companies such as Novell demand the latest technology to deliver a conference of this size. Thanks to improvements made for the 2002 Winter Olympics we have the infrastructure to provide that.”
