Google's Craig Walker Added to List of Keynote Presenters at ITEXPO East 2010 in Miami

Norwalk, CT – January 8, 2010 – Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) today announced that Google’s Craig Walker will deliver a keynote address at the 21st ITEXPO (News - Alert), discussing Google’s latest voice, video and chat initiatives. This session is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 3:30 p.m. in the Miami Beach Convention Center, day one of the three-day ITEXPO conference. 

ITEXPO, launched in 1999, remains the premier communications event in the world. Its unrivaled educational programs teach resellers, enterprises, SMBs, and government agencies how to select IP-based voice, video, fax, and unified communications to purchase or resell. The show also helps service providers roll out services their subscribers need, and ITEXPO provides the industry’s most active forum for buyers, sellers and manufacturers to forge the relationships needed to create partnerships and close deals. 

Craig Walker is the group product manager for real-time communications at Google. He and his team are responsible for developing unique voice, video, and chat applications and services for Google’s users, such as Google Voice, Google Talk and video chat in Gmail. Walker was also the co-founder and former CEO of GrandCentral Communications, which Google acquired in July 2007.  Prior to GrandCentral, Craig served as senior director of VoIP for Yahoo Inc., and was the CEO of VoIP pioneer Dialpad Communications, Inc., which Yahoo acquired in 2005.  

“Google continues to develop extremely useful voice and data technologies that give users increased choice and control. I know all ITEXPO attendees are looking forward to learning more about the innovative communications solutions that Craig and his team are working on,” Rich Tehrani, CEO and group editor-in-chief of TMC (News - Alert), said.

Registration for ITEXPO, scheduled for Jan. 20-22, 2010, remains open. Additional details on the full conference agenda are available at www.itexpo.com. Admission to Walker’s address is included with any ITEXPO conference plan.
