The Global IP Communications Marketplace
IP Communications are rapidly becoming an integral part of the way companies do business.
Before long, the majority of businesses will have their communications infrastructure built
entirely around an IP-platform.
This never-before seen period of growth in our industry represents a very exciting time. But
this comes with some very critical business decisions that companies like yours will need to
make to stay competitive and thrive in this burgeoning market. And one of the most imperative
decisions will be how to acquire new customers to ensure that your company continues to
grow. The very best place to meet thousands of new customers is at INTERNET
TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO - the premier event for the IP Communications industry.
Since we first launched ITEXPO in 1999, more than 60,000 IP Professionals from around the world have joined us
at our events on both coasts. This September, we expect over 7,000 more will descend upon the Miami Beach
Convention Center for INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2007. They come by the thousands
from all over the globe to ITEXPO, to learn in the educational sessions, exchange ideas, develop new contacts,
and to meet with vendors like you on the exhibit floor. Just as they have done for the past eight years.
What better place is there to fill your sales pipeline and develop valuable
new relationships,
for 2008 and beyond, than at the world's largest
IP Communications event?
What makes INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO unique is the type of attendee you will meet. These
are the decision makers who will make the final call on their company's IP Communications purchases. And the
reason they choose ITEXPO is because they are readers of TMC’s industry leading publications - INTERNET
TELEPHONY Magazine, IMS Magazine, SIP Magazine, and Customer [email protected] Solutions. Not only are these the
most widely read magazines in the industry, but they are written to be read more by the end user rather than those
actually in the IP Communications industry, meaning the readers are your customers and more importantly, your
future customers. And with a combined readership in excess of 500,000, that makes a lot of potential customers!
INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West will be held September 10-12, 2007 at the Los Angeles
Convention Center in California. ITEXPO East will be held January 22-25, 2008 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Florida. I encourage you to call our sales team today to discuss the many flexible options
we have to put you directly in front of these record crowds.
At INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, you'll have access to more than 7,000 decision makers from
around the world looking to buy products, including more service providers, enterprises, government buyers,
SMB’s, resellers and developers than any competitive event in the market. As of the time I am writing this we are
more than 80% sold out in Los Angeles. Call Dave Rodriguez at 203-852-6800 x146 or send an e-mail to [email protected], to ensure there is space for you.
Come see for yourself why this is the only event attracting new
customers and why deals are made in such large numbers!
Sincerely,
Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Conference Chairman
There are many reasons why ITEXPO is the premier event in the IP Communications space, including the
most relevant topics, the convenient bi-coastal locations, and the unsurpassed marketing support from TMC.
But more than anything, what draws more buyers to ITEXPO than any other event is the in-depth educational
content supported by the industry’s leading publications - INTERNET
TELEPHONY Magazine, IMS Magazine, SIP Magazine, and Customer [email protected] Solutions. Both the comprehensive conference curriculum, and the
free workshops and seminars, are built to provide information of the highest quality, educating all areas from
the most knowledgeable developer down to the CEO of a financial institution exploring options to improve his
business’ profitability.
Meet New and Different Customers
Because we get such a wide variety of new customers, one thing that will always make ITEXPO unique is the
number of new people you will meet compared with other events in the industry. At some events, it seems the
only customers who come to your booth are those who have an appointment. At IT Expo, you’ll have access to
thousands of potential customers in the exhibit hall, at the receptions, and in the keynote sessions. And since
more than 1/3 of all attendees said this is the only event they plan to attend this year, that this is your only
chance at all to meet with roughly 2,500 attendees.
ITEXPO Delivers the ROI You Expect
from a Major Event
With the number of new customers you will meet at INTERNET
TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, you will find the best ROI of
any show in the industry. In fact, many exhibitors at ITEXPO have
completed enough sales to more than pay for their entire
exhibit....before the show was even over. Because of nature of the
audience - high level attendees with a definite interest in learning
more about products - the audience at ITEXPO delivers more
revenue than any other event. That is why some of our repeat
exhibitors have taken to calling ITEXPO “the ROI show”.
There were actually too
many press people, making it
difficult to engage them all.
— Jill Schmidt
Vice President
S&S Public Relations
There will be hundreds of members of the media and industry analysts, looking to get the latest information on
the industry’s leading companies and any new developments. The event will attract press from major daily
newspapers, industry publications, blogs, Web sites, broadcast media, research firms, and VCs — all there to
cover the event and learn more about your company.
What better place to make your major announcement than at
INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO?
Not only is ITEXPO the largest event in our industry this year, but its
also the first of the busy fall season. With hundreds of press and
analysts in attendance, ITEXPO is the ideal location to make major
announcements or to launch your new product. By making your
announcements at ITEXPO, you’ll not only get the attention of the
massive crowds and huge numbers of press in attendance, but you’ll
also get a jump on the competition who are waiting for another show
later in the fall to make their announcement.

ITEXPO Attendees are Buyers of IP

No matter what type of solution you sell, you’ll find attendees at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference

purchase a product they saw at the last ITEXPO; and more than 60% of attendees plan to spend at
least $100,000 this year on IP products. That means there are literally thousands of attendees on the
exhibit floor looking to buy what you offer AND have the money to spend.

The show has been fantastic. I've been
coming to these shows since the mid-90's

here. This is fantastic.”

Focus on Educational Content Ensures the Highest Quality Attendees
The reason the attendees of INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO are the best you'll
find at a trade show is because they come to the event to learn — both in the sessions and
from you on the exhibit floor. They are serious about enhancing their knowledge and are at
the event because they want to make their business better.
The reason they choose INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO is the unparalleled
quality of the educational courses offered. As the publishers of the industry’s leading
magazines — INTERNET
TELEPHONY Magazine, IMS Magazine, Unifed Communications Magazine, and Customer [email protected] Solutions, and the industry’s leading and most informative Web site, TMCnet,
we are in a unique position to serve as the thought leaders of this emerging industry. Our team of editors spends literally
months gathering abstracts from respected companies and building a comprehensive program built on providing true
education, not on satisfying an exhibitor's desire to deliver a canned pitch in their session.
This focus on quality educational content delivers only the most serious attendees, who, in turn, become the most dedicated customers.
Another reason the educational content at INTERNET
TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO is unsurpassed is the
quality of the presenters. Our editorial team carefully selects
the presenters from the many hundreds of who submitted
proposals. The result is a collection of industry leading
experts - the cream of the crop - mostly top executives with
decades of experience.

Your presenters had a great command of the subject
