Montvale, NJ, February 6, 2001 -- SYS-CON Media announced today that its JavaEdge 2001 International Java Developer Conference & Expo will take place September 23 - 26, in New York City. This year, the exhibit floor will double in size to accommodate more than 100 exhibitors. The conference program will present exclusive keynotes and focus on cutting-edge Java technologies in multiple simultaneous tracks, night school, and an accelerated weekend program.

“We are very excited about the opportunity to present JavaEdge 2001, and look forward to offering the professional Java development community with one of the most memorable events of the year,” said Fuat Kircaali, founder and CEO of SYS-CON Media. “JavaEdge 2001 Conference and Expo will be a leading forum where Java professionals from around the world will exchange ideas, and leading Java vendors will showcase their cutting-edge technologies. Conference attendees will have a unique opportunity to interact with JavaEdge faculty members, the makers and shakers of the Java industry.”

“The Conference's five tracks will include extensive focus on cutting-edge Java topics such as J2ME, J2SE, J2EE and two new tracks that will be added in this year's sessions,” said Alan Williamson, the editor-in-chief of Java Developer's Journal. “As producers of the leading independent Java developer conferences in the world, we'll offer a unique learning experience not available anywhere else.”

"JavaEdge will bring together premiere instructors and speakers of the Java industry in an information packed, intensive conference" said Sean Rhody, Conference Technical Chairman and Founding Editor of Java Developers Journal. "We've lined up experts from major vendors, top developers, and industry analysts to provide a mix of business, technical and management topics across the entire range of the java platform -from the smallest wireless device to the largest server."

“The call for papers opens today for speakers who would like to present topics in their areas of expertise,” said Cathy Walters, vice president of SYS-CON Events. “The technical advisory board of the JavaEdge Conference will select only those submissions most pertinent to the field.” Daily updates and news about JavaEdge 2001 can be found at www.JavaEdge2001.com.
