CONNECTIONS™: The
Digital Home Conference and Showcase, produced by Parks Associates in
partnership with the Consumer Electronics Association, is an executive
marketing conference to be held May 11-13, 2005, at the Hyatt Regency near
the San Francisco Airport in Burlingame, Calif.

comprehensive analysis of current and future “Digital Living”
technologies. CONNECTIONS™ will also host 100+ technology companies and
