INTERNET TELEPHONY� Conference And EXPO Brings Cost-Saving Technology Solutions To Miami Venue Next Month

Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC�) announced that, based on pre-registration numbers, it's INTERNET TELEPHONY� Conference and EXPO Miami 2002, February 6-8 at the Hotel Inter-Continental in Miami, Florida is on target to exceed last year's record attendance.

INTERNET TELEPHONY� is a targeted and innovative tradeshow where vendors display the latest cost-saving IP telephony products and services for enterprise users, resellers and service providers to compare and select. IP telephony offers businesses and telephone service providers a lower-cost, more feature-rich alternative to traditional telecommunications services.

The show features insightful conferences, exciting keynote speakers, great networking opportunities and an Exhibit Hall featuring the latest IP Telephony technology. For 2002, new tracks on Standards, International Opportunities and Contact Center Solutions are being offered in addition to the Enterprise and Service Provider tracks.

"Surveys tell us that the opportunity to meet with many vendors and manufacturers in one place is the #1 reason why people attend this special event," said TMC president and conference co-chair, Rich Tehrani. "That's why we've packed more than 25 hours of exhibit time, conferences and networking events into three fulfilling days. Whether you represent an enterprise, a contact center, or a service provider, or if you are a developer or reseller, you are assured of leaving the show with increased knowledge on how you can use cost-saving IP-based products and services to improve profitability in your business."

Making its 6th appearance at a TMC event is ConvergeNET�, the world's first, largest and longest-running showcase of IP telephony interoperability. Attendees to the show are encouraged to ask vendors - connected via the show's TCP/IP network - to prove that their IP products work seamlessly with those of other vendors. Interoperability is key to IP telephony success, and ConvergeNET� is the original proving ground.

Marc Robins, TMC's VP of Publications and Trade Shows, feels ConvergeNET� puts the stamp of excellence on INTERNET TELEPHONY� Conference & EXPO's product-focused program. "What makes this event unique is that it showcases real solutions that companies and service providers can buy and use today. Through the ConvergeNET� demonstrations, attendees can verify that the products on display are ready to deliver value to them right now," explained Robins.
