Sun Microsystems Chief is Featured Speaker at SAE 2001 World Congress Banquet

    WARRENDALE, Pa., Dec. 13 Scott McNealy, one of Silicon
Valley's wunderkind and co-founder of the multi-billion dollar
Sun Microsystems, will be the featured speaker at the SAE 2001 World Congress
banquet in Cobo Center, Detroit, Michigan on Thursday, March 8, 2001 at 7 p.m.
in the Riverview Ballroom.
    Since taking the reins as CEO in 1984, McNealy has steered Sun to constant
growth and profitability.  In just 18 years since its founding, Sun
Microsystems has become the leading global supplier of network computing
solutions, with revenues of more than $14 billion.
    McNealy's vision and business acumen have made him one of the most
influential and widely quoted leaders in the complex, fluid and fast-moving
information technology industry.
    Both industries are drawing closer together as a result of greater
emphasis on electronics as options and standard equipment on 21st century new
cars.
    The SAE banquet is the showpiece of the four-day Congress that includes an
exhibition of more than 1,200 companies, 263 technical sessions and panels
with 1,300 papers discussing the latest automotive technology and
approximately 50,000 attendees.
