eWorld 2001, Vancouver, BC, Canada by Muguette M. Goufrani Last fall our editors attended one of the most productive and rewarding events we have ever covered for the magazine. It was in a similar league with our coverage of Apec 1997 and Globe 2000 in terms of timeliness and impact. And it like the others, eWorld was in our own backyard at the Vancouver Convention Centre, a few blocks from our office. What we saw and heard has inspired us to make E-Business a key topic at the Africa Skies Conference her on August 12. Prior to and following the "Africa Skies" event, our Road Show goes to selected cities in Africa and North America. This year's promotional tours, where we assisted African tourism delegations in North American set the stage. Author Don Tapscott's opening keynote address was a defining moment. Watch for a review of his book "Digital Capital" on this website and in our magazines. Tapscott, in great demand as a speaker worldwide, outlines a whole new set of business models for the new Digital Economy. All apply to our competitive world of travel and tourism .. and to Africa's roled. To learn more, see Don's site: www.actnet.com or write airhwy@dowco.com. Thanks to Kevin McKeon and Michael Styles of Festival Communications for their professional touch with the media, and to eWorld for staging such a comprehensive learning and networking event.
