Gregory Giagnocavo to Address Leading IP Communications Conference at San Diego Convention Center

NORWALK, CT (Sept. 26, 2006) - Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) announced today that Gregory Giagnocavo, CEO of Dash 911, has been selected to deliver a keynote address at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2006, to be held Oct. 10-13, 2006, at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, Calif.

Giagnocavo’s address, which is open to all registered attendees, will take place at 9:30 a.m. (PDT), Friday, Oct. 13. Registration for the conference is now open at http://www.itexpo.com.

INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, held since 1999, is the world’s largest and best-attended IP Communications trade show. Last January, INTERNET TELEPHONY East 2006 attracted over 8,000 buyers and sellers of IP Telephony products and services to the Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. TMC is expecting a crowd in excess of 9,000 for this west coast show in October.


“Emergency 911 calls and their availability via IP technology is a huge issue affecting our industry,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC president and conference chair. “With the increased FCC regulations, we all welcome the opportunity to hear from an industry expert such as Gregory Giagnocavo.”

Prior to Dash 911, Giagnocavo’s Internet-related businesses included co-founding Supernet, one of the first ISPs in Pennsylvania in 1994. A few years later, Supernet went public and was later sold to Earthlink. He also co-founded Classroom Connect, now owned by Harcourt, which was the first - and eventually one of the largest - Internet educational publishing companies.

“It’s now obvious that VoIP is becoming the telephone technology of choice,” said Giagnocavo, “but rock-solid E911 services are a requirement for VoIP to fulfill its destiny as a wire line replacement. At Dash911, we’re especially proud of our double-redundant hardware and software system that provides any VoIP provider with an affordable and easy to implement E911 service on an outsourced basis.”

In addition to Giagnocavo’s appearance, INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2006 features keynotes from the following industry leaders - AT&T (News - Alert), Aculab (News - Alert), Lucent Technologies, Microsoft, Ditech Networks, 8x8 (News - Alert) Inc., Citrix Systems, Motorola, Nortel, Digium, Toshiba, AudioCodes (News - Alert) and Inter-Tel.

Registration for the conference and trade show is now open: http://www.itexpo.com.
