Computer Forensics Show to Bow at Washington Convention Center February 4 – 6

Author: Forensic Trade Shows
Dateline: Mon, 14 Jan 2008

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “GREENWICH, Conn. - Jan. 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- For some companies, it is not a question of if one of their computers will be used as evidence in a legal matter, it is a question of when. The inaugural Computer Forensics Show will fill the Washington D.C. Convention Center from February 4-6, 2008. This year's event features keynote addresses by high-powered Washington insiders such as Barry M. Sabin, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Chief Counter-Terrorism Section.”

Imagine the Ability to View Anything That Ever Appeared on Almost any Computer

GREENWICH, Conn. - Jan. 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- For some companies, it is not a question of if one of their computers will be used as evidence in a legal matter, it is a question of when. The inaugural Computer Forensics Show will fill the Washington Convention Center from February 4-6, 2008 (in Washington, D.C.). This year's event features keynote addresses by high-powered Washington insiders such as Barry M. Sabin, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Chief Counter-Terrorism Section, U.S. Department of Justice and James Christy, Director of Futures Exploration, Department of Justice Defense Cybercrime Center.

Other notable beltway speakers highlighting the proposed annual event include David Heil, Special Agent In Charge Of Computer Crime for the United States Department Of Commerce; Dr. James Lyle and Doug White from the Computer Security Division from the DoC's National Institute of Standards and Technology and Kevin Reis, Special Agent with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's OIG Electronic Crimes Unit.

By most estimates, 90% of legal evidence resides in computer systems, rather than on paper. Cases involving corporate trade secrets, personal and commercial disputes, employee discrimination, misdemeanor and felony crimes and personal injury can be won or lost solely with the introduction of recovered e-mail messages and other electronic files and records.

Today's business environment continues to become more and more complex-with strict regulatory and compliance requirements, increased scrutiny and the ever-present threat of litigation. Because the majority of information today is created and available only in an electronic format, electronic data and the ability to properly address it in a defensible manner are increasingly critical to the legal process. These services are vital to any individual, company, or law practice with cases that deal with sensitive information stored on digital media.

The Computer Forensics Show will focus in-depth on topics of interest to legal and risk management professionals, the accounting industry and the IT sector, and features five powerful conference tracks including Legal, Accounting, Advanced IT Security and an exciting Lab track with a scheduled two-day complete Mock Trial.

The Long Term Care Insurance Explosion; January Conference to Celebrate Rapid Growth of LTC Protection and Light Fuse of Further Expansion

Author: LTC Financial Partners
Dateline: Wed, 19 Dec 2007

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “KIRKLAND, Wash. and CHARLESTON, S.C. - Dec. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- LTC Financial Partners, the nation's most experienced long term care insurance brokerage, has more than quadrupled in size since 2005, to more than 400 field underwriters and support staff. That just one sign of what's happening in the long term care insurance field, in the company's experience.”



A R T I C L E:

KIRKLAND, Wash. and CHARLESTON, S.C. - Dec. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- LTC Financial Partners, the nation's most experienced long term care insurance brokerage, has more than quadrupled in size since 2005, to more than 400 field underwriters and support staff. That just one sign of what's happening in the long term care insurance field, in the company's experience.

Caption: LTC Financial CEO Cameron Truesdell"Our business is exploding," says Cameron Truesdell, CEO. "People are learning how risky it is to live without LTC protection. So they're coming to us for help, and they're coming in droves." He says they want to know which policy from which carrier can best protect them from neglect or financial ruin "when suddenly, bang, a family member needs extended care."

The LTC explosion will be celebrated at the company's annual conference in Charleston, SC, January 6 through 8, "and we'll plan for additional explosive growth in the year ahead," Truesdell adds.

The conference will explore several methods of responding to the explosion. These include --

* Extending a program for reaching people through their employers. Launched in 2006, the Long Term Care Outreach and Education Program (LTCOEP(TM)) is already operating through large companies, providing group discounts as well as knowledge.

* Extending a "partnership" program with financial and other institutions. "We already have alliances with major banks and associations," says Truesdell. "These partnership let the organizations alert their customers or members quickly. At the conference, we'll be looking for new alliance avenues."

* Reaching more people through the Internet. A national network of websites, manned by LTCFP field underwriters, already dispenses information through online text and digital downloads. "We'll be working on phase 2 of our online outreach."

* Using video to reach more people. In 2007 LTCFP began experimenting with video as a communications tool. "We found it very effective, and now we're going to make stars out of our experts," Truesdell says. At the conference a camera crew will capture footage of individual field underwriters dispensing information. Subsequently, a rash of LTC videos will appear on YouTube, Google Video, and other Internet locations.

* Tapping the power of telephony. Already a few of the field underwriters have mastered the art of educating people by phone. The conference will pursue ways of extending this avenue. "Many consumers prefer meeting with a field underwriter in their home," says Truesdell. "But others are really busy. They'd rather get the information quickly and efficiently over the phone."

* Adding more field underwriters. In spite of quadrupling in size since 2005, "we still don't have enough experts to reach everyone," says Truesdell.

With a passion for meeting a critical public need, LTC Financial Partners intends to transform itself in all ways necessary, according to Truesdell. "At the conference all kinds of new ideas and enthusiasm will be generated," he says. "We're on a roll and we're going to make more and more of a difference."

Information about LTC Financial Partners and its field underwriters is available at the corporate website: www.ltcfp.com.

World Women Trade Fair Hosts Expo that Celebrates World Culture and Economic Independence

Author: World Women Trade Fair
Dateline: Fri, 14 Dec 2007

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Dec. 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- For the first-time ever, the folks who live in Santa Monica and surrounding areas, will get a taste of third-world culture at the International Handcrafted Gifts and Home Textile Expo to be held on January 20 and 21 at the Santa Monica Doubletree Hilton.”

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Dec. 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- For the first-time ever, the folks who live in Santa Monica and surrounding areas, will get a taste of third-world culture at the International Handcrafted Gifts and Home Textile Expo to be held on January 20 and 21 at the Santa Monica Doubletree Hilton.

Caption: Uzbekistan woman making hand-knotted carpets"This is the fourth year that we have sponsored the Expo," Margaret Galabe, Executive Director, World Women Trade Fair, said. "These events have been very successful in the past and this is the first year that we are hosting it in Santa Monica. In the past, we have hosted it in various cities in the U.S. and the U.K. and we expect at least 3,000-5,000 people to attend."

The mission of the World Women Trade Fair (www.worldwomentradefair.com) is to provide economic opportunities to women living in third-world countries and to assist them to gradually build a broad-based market. In addition, the World Women Trade Fair offers U.S. market-orientation training which is a component of their Global Market Access Initiative offering skills training and information to access global markets.

"Learning how to be successful in global markets is key," Galabe explained, "but, it is also important to the artisans to produce unique, quality, handcrafted products that reflect and retain their heritage. We are able to assist them in the production of these fine crafts."

At the Expo, World Women Trade Fair will have 50 vendors from over 20 countries represented. For example, a small country, Uzbekistan, a land-locked country in Central Asia that was formerly part of the Soviet Union, sits on the ancient Silk Road between China and the West. A vendor from Uzbekistan will present suzane silk decorative embroidery that dates back to the Temurid Empire period of the 14th and 15th centuries. After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the women of Uzbekistan revived their lost traditional weaving and embroidery skills to create jobs and to re-build their communities.

Other countries include, but are not limited to: Afghanistan, Bolivia, Nepal, Kenya, Mexico, Vietnam and South Africa. Products for sale range from intricately-beaded jewelry and dolls to handcrafted wood models and elaborately-woven baskets.

Admission to the event is free. For more information, visit: www.worldwomentradefair.com or call: 661-456-2286.

CA Boom 4: The West Coast Independent Design Show Adds a New Area – the ‘Modern Parenting’ Zone

Author: CA Boom Design Shows
Dateline: Mon, 19 Mar 2007

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Mar. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Recognizing that good design need not stop at the door to the kid's room, the CA Boom design show will for the first time ever include a 'Modern Parenting Zone,' a new and exciting display of the latest in modern design for babies, kids, and contemporary parents.”

Caters to Parents Seeking Out Modernist Design for Children from Newborn to Teen

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Mar. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Recognizing that good design need not stop at the door to the kid's room, the CA Boom design show will for the first time ever include a "Modern Parenting Zone," a new and exciting display of the latest in modern design for babies, kids, and contemporary parents. CA Boom's Modern Parenting section will showcase how designers and manufacturers are meeting the needs of today's parents. Participating exhibitors include Boon, ducduc, Kalon Studios, Litto Kids, Nurseryworks, Scandinavian Child, TrueModern and Not Neutral.

CA Boom - (c) Send2Press"As more and more people realize that design is a lifestyle, one hot area that has emerged is the kid's arena," says CA Boom founder and executive producer Charles M. Trotter. "Good design should be integrated into every room of the house, not just the office and the other 'adult' areas," he adds.

CA Boom 4: The West Coast Independent Design Show runs March 30 to April 1, 2007, at the Santa Monica Airport's 50's-era Barker Hangar. As in years past, the show expects to see a significant number of architects and designers attend with their small children. "The fact that we allow kids makes us unique among trade shows," says Trotter.

"The Modern Parenting Zone was a natural outgrowth of what we saw at our show, which was design trade professionals and early adopter consumers attending with their families," says Trotter. "And it reflects the demographic of our exhibitors, many of whom are young designers and first-time parents who saw an opportunity to deliver a product that was missing from the marketplace."

This is the case with TrueModern, a San Francisco-based furniture and textiles company specializing in children's furniture and accessories. Founded in 2006 by Edgar and Julia Blazona, veteran designers of Pottery Barn and West Elm, TrueModern strives to create high quality, minimalist furniture at an affordable price. When they became parents four years ago, the Blazonas discovered firsthand the uninspired choices in the youth market.

"Kids furniture has traditionally been overlooked in the modern market. In particular, we saw a need for a more sophisticated color palette and for modernist storage solutions to contain the mountains of toys," says Edgar Blazona, founder and principal, TrueModern.

"There's more to baby design than pink or blue, ducks and bunnies," says Robert Yang, publisher of Coochicoos.com, a website devoted to sophisticated children's furniture and accessories and a sponsor and co-creator of CA Boom 4's Modern Parenting Zone. "We love the design trends that are happening in the market today for the modern parent."

Yang, a former architect, first collaborated with Trotter last year on a small booth curated by Coochicoos at CA Boom 3 as a kind of pilot project to see if there was interest among attendees. The success of that venture led to the expanded Modern Parenting Zone at this year's show. Yang notes that publications like Dwell Magazine and design-savvy retailers like Ikea and Target have made modern design more accessible. Now, their readers and customers who are parents are insisting on baby furnishings that are similarly well-designed. As part of the Modern Parenting Zone, Coochicoos will also be coordinating a specially selected exhibit of the "What's Next" in contemporary modernist design for children.

The movement towards sophisticated infant and children's furniture and accessories mirrors what is already happening in music and clothing, with Generation X and Y parents sharing everything from their Dan Zanes albums to their Von Dutch label clothing with their kids.

"Trends are very important to us," says Erin Lane of Scandinavian Child. "With the recent surge in orange over the past year or so, we've come out with our orange Svan Cushion and the Chocolate/Orange Bouncer, which has done phenomenally well. With the trend toward darker furniture, we debuted not only the espresso high chair but new espresso mini furniture as well," she adds.

In addition to staying true to the clean lines, sophisticated colors and uncluttered, unfussy modernist aesthetic, Modern Parenting Zone participants are ahead of their mass-market counterparts in striving to deliver style with sustainability. "When the children who enjoy our designs grow up, we want them to enjoy the planet. And we are doing everything to make sure they can," says David Harris, design director of New York-based design collaborative ducduc. For ducduc, this includes manufacturing their products domestically, in their case in Connecticut.

"We love exhibiting at the CA Boom Show, since it attracts a crowd that always appreciates good design. We think the addition of the Modern Parenting section will be very well received," says Kate Benjamin, director of marketing at Boon Inc., based in Tempe, AZ.

"There are so many talented companies on the West Coast and the audience is ripe for a growing showcase like CA Boom for this talent," says Traci Fleming of California-based Nurseryworks. "We knew firsthand after seeing the show last year as an attendee that the 2007 show would be a huge success!"

(c) Send2Press"Modernist Prefab" is no longer a concept but is now a reality. "In the past year, the modernist prefab manufacturers have had the necessary break-through to deliver product, and CA Boom's Prefab Zone participants confirm this," says Charles M. Trotter, founder and executive producer of the CA Boom Design Show (www.caboomshow.com). "Instead of just talking about prefab, our prefab manufacturers have successfully delivered product and put a dozen houses in the ground."

A majority of the leading modernist prefab manufacturers will be exhibiting at the 2nd annual Prefab Zone, a key attraction of the annual CA Boom Design Show. CA Boom's Prefab Zone is unique in that it connects would-be buyers of prefab with prefab manufacturers that can actually deliver. CA Boom's Prefab Zone is vetted. Accepted participants must have built at least one prefab home, demonstrate that their manufacturing and delivery processes are in place, and be able to confirm a price and delivery date.

Returning CA Boom 3 prefab exhibitors are Marmol Radziner Prefab, livinghomes, Hive Modular, Clever Homes, kitHAUS, V2 World and Sander Architects. Joining this year are ALCHEMY architects (creators of the "weeHouse") and H-Haus, designed by Santa Fe architect Aaron Bohrer, AIA and engineer Arunas Repecka. www.caboomshow.com/prefab.html.

CA Boom's popularity among design-savvy, early-adopters as well as design trade makes it the ideal venue to educate the end-user on the benefits of prefab building techniques. Toby Long, AIA, principal of Clever Homes says, "From the beginning, the CA Boom Design Show has been an ideal forum for our company to convey our approach to design and construction to a creative and inspired audience." Clever Homes has already built five homes and is scheduled to break ground on 20 more during 2007.

"We've seen that consumers are much more educated on prefab now than they were a year ago, and I think events like CA Boom are largely to thank," says Ron Radziner, AIA, design principal, Marmol Radziner Prefab. "Before, people were asking what prefab even was, and now inquiries are much more specific about making potential projects into real built homes." Today, Marmol Radziner Prefab has nearly 20 homes under contract, with two in the ground. Six months ago they started production in their own 65,000 square foot factory near Downtown L.A.

Steve Glenn, founder and CEO of livinghomes, notes that, "Southern California is home to more companies that are actually building modernist prefab housing than anywhere else in the country. For that reason, CA Boom is an important show for prefab companies to do." The first livinghome, designed by Ray Kappe, FAIA, was completed last year in Santa Monica, and will be featured on CA Boom Design + Architecture Tour on Saturday, March 31. In addition, livinghomes' newest design by acclaimed architect David Hertz, AIA will be making its tradeshow debut at CA Boom 4.

At CA Boom 3, Hive Modular was the first to sell a home at the show. A year later, CA Boom's Prefab Zone is still the only place in the world that gathers the lion's share of actual manufacturers who can deliver in one place at the same time, affording the would-be buyer the unique opportunity to comparison shop among the different manufacturers.

Says Trotter, "We expect to see more sales this year as the buyers are better informed, further along with their pre-planning, and many have put into place the necessary elements such as securing the land."

CA Boom 4: The West Coast Independent Design Show runs from March 30 to April 1, 2007, at the Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hangar, with Friday, March 30 being a new "trade-only" day. Also new this year, the floor plan will group related products and services together by discipline including Prefab, Fine Furnishings, Materials, Surfaces & Finishes, Giftware & Accessories, Modern Parenting and Indoor/Outdoor Living. http://www.caboomshow.com/exhibitors/index.php .

In conjunction with the show, CA Boom's innovative Design+Architecture Tour series will showcase exciting, recently completed residential projects in Santa Monica (March 30), Venice (March 31) and West Los Angeles/Mar Vista (April 1).

"Our tours have proven to be an innovative opportunity for a potential client to prescreen five architects in three to four hours and a breakthrough for the architects looking to communicate their services to potential clients, both residential and commercial," says Trotter.

The show also features the return of the Prefab Zone, the only place in the world that connects would-be buyers of prefab with actual manufacturers who can deliver a modernist prefab home. CA Boom's prefab marketplace is unique in that it requires participants to have built a minimum of one prefab home, have their manufacturing and delivery processes in place, and be able to quote prices and write orders. Among the companies returning this year are Living Homes, Clever Homes, Sander Architects, kitHAUS and Marmol Radziner Prefab.

Because CA Boom is a celebration of independent contemporary design as well as a trade show, well-known local DJs will provide a unified soundtrack throughout the three-day event, contributing to a uniquely festive "only-in-California" atmosphere. Based upon past attendance records, CA Boom organizers expect to see a significant increase over last year's 7,500 attendees during the course of the three-day show.
