Al Gore to be Guest of Honor at Ness Technologies Annual Conference Gore will address thousands of Ness Technologies customers, partners and guests at company’s annual conference on May 20, 2008

Ness Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTC), a global provider of IT services and solutions, continues to host world leaders at its annual customer conferences. The company announced today that former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Al Gore will be the guest of honor at its annual conference, to be held on the morning of May 20, 2008, at the David InterContinental Hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize in February 2007 for his commitment and efforts in the struggle against global warming. Gore, who served as Vice President under President Bill Clinton, is the most active leader in the struggle against global warming. In February 2007 he  won the Best Documentary Oscar for his film “An Inconvenient Truth” and in July 2007 he supported the monumental music event Live Earth  that brought together a global audience to combat the climate crisis.

“We are proud to host Al Gore at our annual conference, and his acceptance of our invitation does us great honor,” said Sachi Gerlitz, the president and CEO of Ness Technologies. “It will be our privilege to recognize Mr. Gore for his public work, which has had, and continues to have, such a profound and lasting impact on the world and on each and every one of us, while serving as an example of true leadership.” 

“Ness Technologies’ thousands of customers and business partners will again be able to enjoy the visit and lecture of a leader of such stature – a man who embodies the values of leadership and real change for the future,” said Shachar Efal, president of Ness Israel. “Former US President Bill Clinton honored Ness Technologies’ 2002 conference with his presence, and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani did the same at the company’s 2005 conference. As the company that leads Israel’s IT market we are proud to continue this tradition for our customers and business partners.”
