I'm not sure if this message got out the first time so I'm resending it. My apologies if you received it twice. Please note the conferences do have different names.
Planning for our NEBS Symposium 2000 began even before NEBS '99 was finished. This year the symposium is being co-sponsored by U.S. West and Underwriters Laboratories. Together our objective is to bring the conference to a new level by providing topics leading to a more in-depth understanding NEBS tests and test methods (like the science behind vibration testing), providing a broader perspective of NEBS issues (RBOCs, CLECs, international service providers, manufacturers) and covering hot topics of interest to the NEBS community like TL9000 (we're even including a QuEST sanctioned TL9000 seminar as one of the 8 half-day track options!). Of course there will also be topics covering emc issues, fire, airborne contaminants as well as project planning, test plans, customer requirements and the like. We certainly believe that the US West / UL NEBS Symposium 2000 will provide a fresh new perspective of NEBS compliance issues facing the industry while providing the practical information you can utilize immediately in your daily activities. It is unfortunate that a conflict has arisen with the planning of the Bell Atlantic / Telcordia seminar but this was beyond our control. Although there is some overlap in the basic principles that will be covered, I think that you will find that there is enough to differentiate the two conferences, allowing you to make a decision on which to attend based on your current level of understanding of NEBS requirements and issues and what you plan to take away from the conference. Our vision for the 2000 symposium reflects our desire to raise the level of understanding of NEBS compliance issues across the industry as a whole.

Ivans/MEL/ULI) 08:29 AM Subject: RE: NEBS 2000 Conference Don, The details are on the Telcordia and UL web sites. I believe the intent of these are to be more of a conference than a seminar - interaction between the manufacturers, test labs and RBOC's - as opposed to a training session. http://www.800teachme.com/nebsconference.html http://www.ul.com/seminars/newseminar.htm I would prefer to attend both although, by "coincidence", they seem to be on the same dates. Can anyone shed some light onto the history behind this situation and if anyone might be changing their dates?

UL and Telcordia/Bell Atlantic are both sponsoring what appears to be the same event and, in some cases, claiming the same representatives will be there. Does anyone have any insight to what's going on here? I'm definitely going to one, but..........
