-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- **************>>>>>> Meeting Reminder: One week to go! <<<<<<*********** ****>>>>>> Checks due to Shipwright *this* Saturday, December 30, 1995 <<<<<<** The Digital Commerce Society of Boston (Formerly The Boston Society for Digital Commerce) Presents Art Hutchinson and John Kelly Northeast Consulting Resources Inc., (NCRI) "Future Scenarios for e$: The DCSB Forecast" Tuesday, January 2, 1995 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA I've been talking to Art Hutchinson last week, and it looks like we're in for a treat. This is going to be particularly useful, coming as it does at the beginning of the new year. He and John Kelly are going to put our prognostication skills through their paces with what amounts to a 90's version of Delphi exercise, using us, a bunch of people who, if anyone, should have an interesting take on where commerce on the internet is going in the next few years. I'm psyched. Art and John are old pros at this kind of thing, so I expect this is going to be great fun. Since we're going to be doing something different besides listening to a speaker this time, I'd like to suggest that we get there right at 12 noon to get things started immediately, New Year's aldehyde toxcicity notwithstanding. ;-). Instead of one big group around a table, we'll be sitting at smaller tables with a pile of future "events" to prognisticate about. Our opinions about the likelihood about those events will be recorded by a "scribe" at each table, and then posted for all to look at during/after lunch. The "events" are drawn from a giant database of these things that NCRI has acquired over the years, filtered down to e$-relevance, plus some suggestions from the stuff we've discussed on the dcsb list and at monthly meetings. This meeting of the Boston Society for Digital Commerce will be held on Tuesday, January 2, 1995 from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $27.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, and the speaker's lunch. ;-). The Harvard Club *does* have a jacket and tie dress code. We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by *this* Saturday, December 30 , or you won't be on the list for lunch. We're trying to hold the line on advance registration this time, because the holiday makes for considerable uncertainty in reservations. I will be sending confirmations early this time, on Thursday, just to make sure. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, c/o The Shipwright Development Corporation, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they must be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston". If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out. Planned speakers for the following few months are: February Fred Hapgood Freelance Author March Glenda Barnes X.9 Electronic Commerce Security Group April Donald Eastlake CyberCash May Perry Metzger Security Consultant and Cypherpunk June Dan Shutzer FSTC We are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, and you would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Commmittee, care of Robert Hettinga, rah@shipwright.com .
