INTERNET TELEPHONY^® Conference & EXPO, held September 10–12, 2007, is the world’s largest and best-attended IP Communications trade show. At the last ITEXPO, held January 2007 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, the show drew over 7,100 buyers and sellers of IP Communications products and services. For the upcoming show in September, TMC (News - Alert) projects an attendance of 7,500. More information on the event can be found at www.itexpo.com.

 

“After participating in last year’s ITEXPO West, I am looking forward to returning to the event and presenting among the industry’s top leaders and influencers,” said Kuenzel. “My presentations are designed to help attendees gain a better understanding of both the challenges and benefits of migrating to real-time services so that they can transition effectively and efficiently to next-generation communications.”

 

“We are very pleased that Ken will be participating in this year’s show. Covergence is widely recognized and respected as an industry leader, and I am confident that our attendees will appreciate and value the opportunity to hear his perspective on IMS and securing next-generation communications,” said TMC president and conference chairman, Rich Tehrani. “Over the past twelve months, widespread deployment of IP Communications services by global service providers, businesses and governments has reinforced that this exciting technology is a viable, cost-effective communications solution. As a result, we are seeing a significant number of senior-level executives attending INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO to learn more about the technology so they can make critical decisions affecting their own business.”
