    will host 1st electronic business show October 23 & 24, 2003
 
 La Collectivit� ing�nieuse de la P�ninsule acadienne (CIPA) inc. will be
    hosting FRANCO-TECH 2003, its very first E-Business show, on October 23
    & 24, 2003 at the Universit� de Moncton, Shippagan campus, under the
    theme Les affaires �lectroniques au profit de la ruralit� francophone (�E-Business
    at the Service of Rural Francophone Communities �).
 
 The event will spearhead the promotion of information technology among
    Atlantic Canada�s Acadian and Francophone business community. The show,
    which will offer entrepreneurs support in their efforts toward the
    implementation of computerized solutions within their own businesses, will
    also represent an opportunity to demystify information technology by
    offering participants various information and training sessions.
 
 Information and communications technology is an increasingly powerful tool
    that affects many aspects of small to medium size businesses, entices
    entrepreneurs to review their business practices and offers interesting
    business opportunities. Salon Franco-Tech 2003 will offer entrepreneurs the
    opportunity to benefit from exhibitors� expertise and to establish direct
    contacts with service providers, thus demystifying the information realm.
    Guest speakers and exhibitors were therefore selected in such a way as to
    facilitate networking opportunities between the business world and the ICT
    industry.

    and conferences can be found on the Acadian Peninsula portal at:
