The 1998 World Congress on Information Technology was held at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. from June 21-24, 1998. The Congress featured speakers from the information technology industry, government and academia. As The Post reports, for the 1,700 people who attended, the event's most important issues weren't bits or bytes or graphical user interfaces. Most of the attendees seemed to be more concerned about networking and deal making. Who are these networkers? Washingtonpost.com reporter John Martin asked around town and came up with an unusual guest list. Find out why Operation Smile saw the event as a major opportunity.
