September 20, 2001 The Cabling Installation Expo and Cabling Workshop, now in its sixth year, began as scheduled Tuesday morning despite the nationwide travel difficulties resulting from last week's terrorist attacks. In opening the Workshop portion of the event Tuesday morning—almost exactly one week to the minute after the first of two hijacked commercial airliners struck the World Trade Center towers—BICSI's (www.bicsi.org) treasurer Russell Oliver called for a moment of silence. Vic Phillips, an organizer of the Workshop, led attendees in the pledge of allegiance shortly thereafter.
The difficult traveling conditions forced some scheduled presenters to miss the program, although substitute presenters were put in place and every scheduled Workshop session was held as planned.
The Expo portion of the event was held as scheduled also. Although some exhibitors did not attend as a result of the complications stemming from last week's terrorist attacks, the following exhibitors were at the show.
