SACRAMENTO, CA, October 1, 2002 - Hansen Information Technologies today announced the selection of Las Vegas, Nevada as the site for the 2003 Innovative Government Forum (IGF) and 17th Annual International Information Conference (AIIC). The conferences will take place August 10-14, 2003 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

The annual conferences attract over 1000 leading industry analysts, business leaders, and state, local and federal government officials from around the world. AIIC and IGF are designed to inform government agencies about new technologies and trends that will impact their own IT planning strategies and operation efficiencies. The AIIC (Hansen's User-Group) also provides an opportunity for Hansen users to hear the company's development plans, implementation strategies, and market outlook. The 2002 IGF featured keynote and panel sessions from the Honorable Al Gore; General Barry McCaffrey (USA-Retired); Richard Marshall, Principal Deputy Director of Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office (CIAO); Pete Hayes, Vice President of Microsoft Government and representatives from the FBI, United States Air Force and first responders. The use of information technology to help protect local and state critical-infrastructure assets in compliance with President Bush's Department of Homeland Security was a key topic at the 2002 Forum.

"AIIC and IGF showcase the best in state, local and federal government technology and will feature jurisdictions that have successfully solved real-world problems with innovative technology solutions," said Chuck Hansen, President and CEO of Hansen Information Technologies. "Selecting Las Vegas as the 2003 conference site will provide an excellent opportunity for Hansen's users to witness first-hand how several top Hansen clients, including the City of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Las Vegas Valley Water have benefited from using our permitting applications as part of the Hansen Enterprise system."

"Attendees will enjoy coming to Las Vegas.  We're a high tech community and one of the most 'connected' cities in the nation.  We're also one of the top destinations in the world.  It's a great combination," said Joseph Marcella, director of Information Technologies for the City of Las Vegas.

Several major industry-wide announcements will be revealed at the 2003 conferences. Other highlights will include the highly requested "Monte Carlo" welcome reception and fabulous entertainment.
