Will You Be Behind Tomorrow's Skype, Asterisk,
Blackberry or iPhone?

Dear Colleague,

As communications evolves, two things are certain. 1) The need for applications has never been greater. 2) If you hit it big in communications, you not only improve the world, but you could also become very wealthy.

But where to start and who to partner with? Should you make the next unified communications adjunct? Focus on WiFi security? IMS applications or those allowing mobile advertising? A universal interface which allows PC or Mac applications to be used perfectly well on a mobile browser?

Should you work with Avaya, Aculab, Cisco, Dialogic, Texas Instruments, Sangoma, AudioCodes? None of them? All of them? Should you partner with Sangoma on some novel open source application? Fill a hole in the Digium/ Asterisk product line and try to partner with them?

I could easily fill pages with all the next-gen applications the world needs and is willing to pay for.

But, of course, my opinion is my own and any single person's ideas are limited. It is for this reason the entire world of communications development will convene in Miami for the world's largest unaffiliated Communications Developer Conference. This event is not about discussing any single company's products, but moreover about how to make money and how to partner wisely so you can generate revenue as fast as possible.

I will tell you seriously - having been in the communications conference business for more than two decades - you cannot get the information you will learn from this conference in any other place. The speakers and attendees at this event are unique to this show and this is the only location where the TMC editorial team will be present in force to answer questions you may have.

Simply stated, this is the one event you need to attend each year if you are involved in product or service development in communications and technology.

This 6th Annual Communications Developer Conference is the only chance you'll have this year to learn and network in an environment focused on new application development.

Why should you attend the Communications Developer Conference?

• To Learn how to leverage today's development tools.
• To Discover what you need to know about today's hottest technologies: SIP, IMS, Open Source, WiFi telephony, DSP development, Presence, Peer-to-Peer, Linux telephony, consumer VoIP devices, and more.
• To See hands-on demos and compare products from industry leaders like Avaya, Aculab, AudioCodes, and more!
• To Form Valuable Partnerships with OEMs, service providers, and other developers.
• To Become One of the First to develop new applications using IMS.
• To Acquire Tools for Development in the Entire Spectrum of Communications Products: Video over IP, SIP, cable telephony, open source, IMS, wireless/WiFi telephony, software development, and hardware/device development.

Hosted by TMC, Communications Industry Pioneers Since 1982

At TMC, we have been covering communications markets since 1982 through our INTERNET TELEPHONY, Communications Solutions and Customer Interaction Solutions magazines. This event's sister conference is INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, which we've been hosting since 1999, and which has grown into the largest IP communications event in the world.

Back in 2003, developers and vendors told us that a focused developer's conference is a clear necessity for the IP communications market. It is our pleasure to provide for the sixth year in a row this opportunity for the development community to gather, learn, and network.

I look forward to personally greeting you at the event.

Best Regards,

Rich Tehrani,
TMC President and Conference Chairman

TMC's Communications Developer Conference is the ONLY EVENT 100% focused on educating the pioneers who are building the next generation of communications products and services.

IP-based voice, video and data applications are revolutionizing the way businesses, consumers, and government agencies communicate on a daily basis. And the best part is, we are only at the beginning. The opportunities in IP telephony and Unified Communications continue to multiply as new applications permeate service provider networks, offices, mobile devices, and homes at an astounding rate.

Come Find the Building Blocks - and Cultivate the Relationships - You Need to Change the Way the World Communicates.

Communications has never been so open, so flexible, and so customizable. SIP and open source have emerged as leading protocols and platforms for application development.

Developers in the communications space need to attend the Communications Developer Conference to keep up with the evolving standards and protocols, and to understand how to use today's tools to build truly unique, highly sought-after VoIP applications.

Communications Developer Conference is the only place where developers can see live demos of actual development tools of which they need to be aware. This event is the perfect forum to meet and network with like-minded developers and manufacturers building the future of telecommunications.

1. Commercial-Free Conference Sessions Keep You Ahead of a Fast-Moving Market
At all TMC events, presenters in sessions are strictly forbidden from delivering company pitches or 'industry perspectives'. Any who do, are not invited back to future events. This ensures you get an unbiased education about emerging trends and markets, like IMS, SIP, open source, SOA, Unified Communications, new consumer electronics applications and devices, and other technologies creating huge opportunities.

2. Most Knowledgeable Speakers
Each session topic and presenter is hand-selected by Greg Galitzine, TMC's group editorial director of IP communications since 1998, and Rich Tehrani, president and editor-in-chief for TMC. Only the most relevant sessions presented by speakers they know deliver critical, technical information in an understandable manner make it on to the program at Communications Developer Conference.

3. Top-Level Keynotes
Each keynoter has extensive experience - and brings a unique perspective to the development community. Learn from each of them why the opportunities today may be bigger than any in the history of communications.

4. Meet Top Vendors on The Exhibit Floor
Between sessions, you can meet with vendors and partners you need to build successful applications. The program is designed to give you ample time to stop by each booth to discuss how each exhibitor's offerings can help you.

5. Invaluable Time With Other Developers
Since this is the only conference in 2008 focused solely on communications development, it is your only opportunity to meet and talk with other developers to share ideas, exchange business cards, and discuss the virtues of one solution over another.
