Each year, InformationWeek identifies the 500 companies that are the most innovative users of business technology. The InformationWeek 500 conference and gala awards celebrates innovation with three days of workshops, networking and discussion. Unlike most technology-oriented shows, attendees get a unique opportunity to speak to and learn from some of the most successful IT executives, editors and influencers in the industry in an intimate setting.

Plan to celebrate with the best and brightest this September at the InformationWeek 500 conference and gala awards. For more information visit the conference registration Web site https://secure.pnmi.com/iwf2006/?source=fc34&keyCode=PR
