CMP Technology's VoiceCon Spring 2007 Expands Program

CMP Technology today announced the highlights of VoiceCon® Spring 2007, which will feature an expanded program featuring systems, software and applications payoffs, which offer attendees more insight and analysis than ever before on migrating and deploying IP Telephony, Converged Networks and Unified Communications. The VoiceCon Spring program also has increased the number of sessions by more than 40 percent, and will present more vendors on the VoiceCon show floor than ever. VoiceCon Spring 2007 ( www.voiceconspring.com ) will be held March 5-8 at the Gaylord Palms Hotel in Orlando. Registration for the event is now open at www.voicecon.com/spring/registration.

"The world of voice networking has changed, as IP Telephony, converged networks and Unified Communications move to center stage, presenting new products, new players, new opportunities and new challenges," said Fred Knight, VoiceCon General Manager. "VoiceCon Spring 2007 will bring together the industry's leaders from both suppliers and enterprises to analyze and examine the systems and services that are changing the landscape of enterprise networks and communications."

VoiceCon Spring 2007 will address the market's hottest topics, including new IP Telephony products and technologies, Unified Communications, SIP, Security for IP Telephony and Converged Networks, Organizational Impacts from Convergence, Open Source, Advanced Messaging, Video and Collaboration, Disaster Preparedness and E-911. As it has done for the previous 17 years, the VoiceCon Conference program will help attendees build the IP Telephony platform that is right for their enterprise, and to provide insight into how to best leverage that platform for maximum competitive advantage, productivity improvement and cost containment.

VoiceCon also presents the most comprehensive Exhibition in enterprise communications; indeed, the VoiceCon show floor is only place where all the enterprise equipment, service and software suppliers are gathered under one roof. Over 120 of the industry's leading vendors will be present, including VoiceCon's Diamond Sponsor Avaya, along with Cisco, Microsoft, IBM, Aastra Intecom, AT&T, Extreme Networks, Foundry Networks, Mitel, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Nortel, ShoreTel, Siemens and Verizon Business, providing attendees with an unmatched opportunity to address their needs in enterprise IP Telephony, converged networks and unified communications.

VoiceCon Spring 2007 continues the VoiceCon heritage of delivering in-depth technical sessions, prominent speakers and strategy discussions, attracting high-level enterprise decision makers to review the latest products, and to meet and network with potential partners, consultants and analysts. For 17 years, VoiceCon has delivered practical, forward-thinking, objective information and education focused on enterprise voice, IP telephony and converged technologies, products and services.
