**Rapidly establishing itself as a highlight of the technology industry social calendar,
the fifth annual Intellect IT Charity Ball takes place at the Honourable Artillery
Company, City Road, London on Tuesday 27 June.**

This year’s theme is ‘A Night in Atlantis’. Organisers anticipate 500 guests who
will enjoy cocktails, dinner, dancing, fairground rides, entertainers and celebrity
guests. Martyn Lewis CBE, one of the UK’s best-known broadcasters, is the compère.

Proceeds will go towards the expansion of the YouthNet charity’s online service,
www.TheSite.org, which provides confidential, anonymous and expert support to young
people in need.

The IT Ball is organised by Intellect, the IT, telecommunications and electronics
industry trade association and supported by the Worshipful Company of Information
Technologists (WCIT) and Computer Weekly. The Ball is sponsored by Cable & Wireless,
Cerillion, DCS Automotive, Deloitte, EDS, Intel, Symantec and Xerox Global Services.

The first Intellect IT Charity Ball was held in 2002 and organisations including
National Childrens Homes (NCH), Barnardo’s and the Treehouse Trust have benefited
from funds generated by the events. Last year’s Ball alone raised over £72,000 in
aid of the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

opportunities are still available. So don’t miss out!
