(below from the ICC website, www.iccwbo.org)

ICC World Congresses are regularly attended by the world's leading business

and political leaders.

Staged bi-annually in destinations all over the world, they are

highly-valued by participants as the forum at which decisions are made about

how business will be conducted in an emerging global economy.

More than just a talk-fest, ICC Congresses make decisions on issues of most

concern to business. The decisions reached in Denver will shape the ways

business is done in an increasingly globalized world.

Participants are traditionally drawn from ICC's membership. With more than

7,000 member companies stretched across 140 countries, ICC is the largest,

most representative business organization in the world.

The CEOs of some of the world's largest multinationals will be among the

delegates in Denver. Political leaders and heads of state are also regular

participants at ICC Congresses - seeing them as an opportunity to gauge the

mood of the world business constituency and deliver their message to its

leaders.

For security reasons, the full list of speakers is being witheld at this

moment.

--------

From May 5th to 8th business executives and government

officials of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) will come to

Denver and meet at the Denver Marriott Hotel at 1701 California Street

to discuss the role of business in the global economy. Their goals include

ever higher profits at the expense of worker, environmental and human

rights. But workers and activists in Denver are uniting to protest this

unjust vision of globalization.

We will hold a Labor/Social Forum featuring workers

from El Salvador, and

the United States:

10AM—NOON, MONDAY, MAY 6TH, 2002

TIVOLI STUDENT UNION (AURAUIRA CAMPUS), ROOM 640
