Kenneth G. Furton, Ron Singer, Prof. Pierre Margot, Dr. Erkki Sippola, Prof.

Registration for industry
professionals is free of charge. "The unique value of our international web
conferences is that they cut down the budget and time barriers usually
associated with offline conferences," says Val-Pierre Genton, Managing Director
of e-symposium and the E-Symposium’s Co-Chair. The free-of-charge strategy is
expected to generate attendance levels in excess of 1,000 delegates and create
unprecedented knowledge-sharing from experts to delegates. It seems that the
E-Symposium covers every angle – not only can delegates attend high quality
presentations from the comfort of their own office, but they can also interact
with their international colleagues via cutting edge web-based instant messaging
technology. Delegates can even create private, secured 'rooms' to have closed
meetings. With training and travel budgets tight or non-existent, this certainly
is deliverance for the legal, law enforcement and academic communities.
