Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Conference on Risk Management Cancelled

At the Software Engineering Conference on Risk Management held in April 1996
at Virginia Beach, we began integrating the themes of software acquisition
improvement and the software acquisition capability maturity model into the
conference.  Risk management was a key process area (KPA) within that model.

Over the last several years, the SEI has added the topic of risk management to
the Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG) Conference and, for the last two
years, to the European SEPG (E-SEPG) Conference.

Feedback from past Risk Conference attendees indicates that with
increasingly limited travel budgets, attending a single-topic conference is
becoming harder to justify. Therefore, we believe it will be more advantageous
to disseminate information on risk management through larger, more diverse
forums, both here in the United States and abroad.

We also recognize that there may be a continued need for smaller, more focused
forums such as workshops on single topics (for example, risk management), and
we will continue to investigate alternatives to meet that need.

Therefore, we are regretfully cancelling the Risk Conference that was to be
held in June 1998 in Crystal City, Virginia.  We are encouraging contributors
to submit their work to other forums such as the Software Engineering Process
Group (SEPG) Conference and the European SEPG (E-SEPG).  For more information
