12-06-2006 Internet Telephony Conference & Expo 2007
The conference will be held January 23 - 26, 2007, at the Ft. Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Release: TMCNet News, Norwalk, CT Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) today announced that its INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO East 2007, taking place next month in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (www.itexpo.com), will contain a series of educational sessions designed to help businesses maintain business continuity when natural disasters, or other disruptive forces, strike their area. According to TMC President and ITEXPO Conference Chairman, Rich Tehrani, while the threat of disruption from hurricanes, and other natural disasters, is a major consideration for businesses in Florida and other Gulf states, businesses worldwide must be prepared for unforeseen events, including pandemics, which can potentially cripple their respective operations. "Hurricane Katrina last year - and the September 11th terrorist attacks before that - have heightened awareness as to the threat of long-term business disruption. When disaster hits, quick restoration of effective communications systems can help a company save their essential sales and customer service functions from collapsing, while protecting their critical revenue streams," explained Tehrani." In addition, in response to potential disasters, many organizations have assembled teams of 'Teleworkers', or home-based employees. As this type of workforce is distributed across the country - and the world - disruption in one geographic region will potentially have less of a negative impact on the organization as a whole. The Telework Coalition conference tracks at ITEXPO will educate enterprises - particularly contact centers - on how to build and manage an effective Telework Force," added Tehrani. According to TMC, total attendance at last year's ITEXPO in Ft. Lauderdale topped 6,000 attendees. TMC officials project attendance to exceed 7,000 at this year's event. Complete details about all sessions and workshops at the conference are posted at www.itexpo.com. Registration for the show is now open.
