NEW YORK, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York City Host Committee announced
this week the formation of a partnership with the global public relations firm

information about the convention and New York City quickly and easily, and we
are very happy that the GCI Group will be providing this vital service."
The scope of services provided by GCI Group include:
