These markets have proven to be extremely fast-moving and industry analysts expect they will exhibit rapid growth for years to come.  As the pace of information transfer continues to accelerate, knowledge of the latest news is crucial in order for decision makers to make the most informed purchasing decisions possible. It is this need for information which has brought, and should continue to bring, decision makers to TMC.

TMCnet Channels
The TMCnet Channels Program creates customized portals which are exclusive by category (keywords), positioned on TMCnet’s home page and directly accessible from nearly any page on the site.  This channel acts as a dedicated, exclusive micro-site to communicate customized marketing messages to TMCnet’s influential buying/specifying online audience. 

Generally, channel names are determined in a collaborative fashion to help gain maximum exposure on a specific subject manner such as Phone Systems, Fax, or IP Communications.  Most channels rank on the first results page of the major search engines, which is an added branding and search engine benefit of this program.  Currently, TMCnet has what they believe to be the largest collection of b2b channels found anywhere.

TMC has built well over 120 channels which generate a massive amount of visitors to its site.  These viewers potentially visit multiple channels, resulting in greater traffic for each channel.  Further, having content associated with several channels brings even more viewers to TMCnet who in turn spread content virally to others.

The market for Unified Communications software and hardware is experiencing tremendous growth.  Today’s enterprise workforce is demanding these productivity-enhancing options from their IT and telecom departments.  Responding to this pressure from their staffs, decision makers at all levels are selecting and deploying solutions at a frantic pace.

Events – TMC produces major trade shows annually, including INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & Expo, and Call Center 2.0. Thousands of attendees representing 115 countries participate in TMC’s shows, which provide valuable information they can take away and apply to their businesses.

Starting with the first events launched in the mid 1980s and continuing today, TMC conferences and expos attract a high-level audience because they deliver a comprehensive, in-depth education within a marketplace atmosphere.

Attendees achieve measurable ROI because the program at each event is built to deliver educational sessions that give detailed comparisons of different solutions.  Armed with the pros and cons of each particular product and service, these attendees walk the exhibit floor armed to ask the right questions of vendors trying to convince them that their solution is best. The exhibit floor literally becomes a marketplace where buyers visit vendors with a clear sense of the features and characteristics that will fit their specific needs.

For exhibitors, the presence of these highly-educated, highly-influential attendees allows them to drive ROI by cultivating their best prospects in the unique face-to-face setting only a trade show can provide. Further, the strategic East and West coast locations of the bi-annual INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, enables TMC to draw attendees from South America, Europe and Asia.

Expo participants on both sides of the buying and selling interaction maximize their time at the event because attendees receive a serious education, not a commercially-motivated presentation in each breakout session.

Internet Telephony Conference & Expo (ITEXPO)
Internet Telephony Conference & Expo attracts high level attendees with a definite interest in learning more about products. This provides great opportunity for top level decision makers, most of whom are on the show floor, to shop for their next partners and interact with their new customers.

Every year since 2001, there have been two ITEXPO events per year, one in Florida, and one in California
