Among the numerous experts
scheduled to speak are: John A.

Comdisco Disaster Recovery
Services of Canada Ltd., who
will discuss several industry
trends that require a crifical
review of recovery programs;
‘Pamela Hollington, senior man-
ager, Ward Music Ltd., who will
review what was necessary when
Victoria’s Ward Music was
destroyed by fire; and Sarah

vides business recovery services
and hot-site services to customers.

Of particular interest to busi-
nesses built on earthquake fault-
lines will be Michael D. Caren,

talk about the impact on business
at Pacific Bell during the Loma
Prieta Earthquake on Oct. 17,

noted that at the Las Vegas Winter

extremely comfortable, and avail-
able with either a black or white
frame and in any of 49 colors of
leather upholstery”.
