VoIP Demo ™ and the IP Communications Business SummitTM Launched in Silicon Valley

 

Norwalk, CT, [April 21, 2006] — Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®) and Robins Consulting Group (RCG) announced today the launch of VoIP Demo™ (www.voip-demo.com ) and the associated IP Communications Business Summit™ conference. A first of its kind event, VoIP Demo™ allows attendees to research new VoIP and IP Communications products and services by taking in live demonstrations and interactive presentations. The events will take place August 8-10, 2006 at the Santa Clara Hyatt Regency, located in Santa Clara, California.

 

Unlike any other events, VoIP Demo™ and the IP Communications Business Summit were created to provide value to companies seeking to implement VoIP and IP communications technologies in their organizations, to members of the financial industry interested in evaluating companies and products for investment, and to vendors looking for new customers and funding in this increasingly competitive industry. The unique value proposition of VoIP Demo is the hours of live demos the attendees will witness.

 

The audience is comprised of analysts and members of the financial community who are looking to evaluate and invest in new, innovative startups and later-stage companies; service providers looking to deploy the latest VoIP services to their customers; enterprises and government agencies who are looking to deploy VoIP in their organizations; and resellers who want to add lucrative new VoIP products to their offerings.

 

Developed as an integral part of VoIP Demo, The IP Communications Business Summit is an associated conference and networking event aimed at bringing together vendors and service providers with members of the financial and investment community -- including venture capitalists, investment bankers, financial industry analysts, M&A specialists, and angel investors. The IP Communications Business Summit will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to meet and network with top executives from IP communications companies seeking investment, and gain invaluable insight from leading independent industry researchers, analysts and consultants.

 

According to Rich Tehrani, TMC President and co-chairman of VoIP Demo™ and the IP Communications Business Summit™, “Customers, analysts and the financial community are demanding a venue where they can conveniently preview the products and services they need, cover or invest in. And as competition increases, vendors are looking for new avenues to reach this diverse audience. Based on our position as a recognized leader in the IP Communications field, TMC was in a unique position to give both sides exactly what they wanted. Furthermore, we are extremely excited to have RCG and Marc Robins – a recognized IP Communications industry authority -- as our partner on these events! ”

According to Marc Robins, RCG Chief Evangelism Officer and co-chairman of VoIP Demo™ and the IP Communications Business Summit™ “We are thrilled to be joining forces with TMC on these important new events! As the popularity of IP Communications increases throughout the world, there are myriad technologies, products, services, and applications from which to choose. For a person to research everything on his own could take several months. Our goal is for people to come to VoIP Demo and find a wealth of choices in one room, do all of their research over the course of two information-packed days, and meet face-to-face with key principals and executives on location.”
