GEIS' Solutions '99 will be held February 20-24 at the same hotel. "Pubnet has made great strides since the last Pubnet Conference and Y2K-compliant, EDI systems like ours are making the Internet commerce revolution possible," said Andrew Gregory, managing director of Pubnet LLC. Pubnet Conference highlights includes updates on the new services including Rapid ResponseTM, Pubnet Internet services, customer based presentations on new document trading, information about the new on-line database services, information about the online bookselling revolution, the Pubnet response to the Y2K problems and much more. Ginny Dittmar, former chair of the AAP PUBNET Marketing Committee, noted, "In these times, when electronic commerce is quickly replacing other, more outdated and expensive forms of business to business communications, the PUBNET conferences have been the best place to find out what's happening in the college store communities and the EDI world at large. We couldn't run our business without the PUBNET services." "With start-ups like varsitybooks.com and the potential Ingram/Barnes & Noble deal driving interest in bookselling, this is a perfect time for PUBNET users and potential PUBNET users to find out about this industry-funded EDI system. The PUBNET conference also gives booksellers another chance to network with industry colleagues," commented Dave Moffatt, Marketing Director at NACS. "With the consolidation that has been taking place in the publishing industry over the last year, publishers need to use every EDI tool available to them. PUBNET and Pubnet are the only independent Internet commerce systems available to them," added Don Burden, Director of Marketing Services at McGraw-Hill Higher Education.
