Sponsored by the Journal, Microsoft Corporation, Forrester Research, and HBS, the Forum features an array of keynote speakers, panels, and discussions examining technology, commerce, and the new economy going forward into the new millennium. Although all sessions are private to ensure a frank and open exchange of ideas, some segments are being videotaped for an hour-long special program to be aired at a later date on CNBC and hosted by network correspondent Brian Williams. Dean Clark will welcome the participants with brief remarks this morning. The other HBS participants are Professor Michael Porter and Professor David Yoffie. Yoffie is on a panel examining the inextricable ties between technology and commerce and what that linkage means for society in the twenty-first century.
