I thought I'd share some TMC news about a very cool opportunity TMC is providing to startup companies. At the next Internet Telephony Conference & Expo (ITEXPO), TMC will offer startup companies the ability to pitch their products and services. It was very successful at the last ITEXPO and so we decided to do it again. Here's the full news release including news about the keynote speaker:
TMC and Embrase Business Consulting Announce Keynote Speaker, Platinum Sponsor for StartupCamp at ITEXPO
Cloud Communications Innovator Twilio Returns;
Xobni CEO Jeff Bonforte to Keynote Oct. 4 in Los Angeles
Norwalk, CT, July 21, 2010 - Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®), a leading global media company and Embrase Business Consulting, today announced the return of Twilio as a Platinum sponsor, and Jeff Bonforte as keynote speaker for this fall's "StartupCamp, Communications Edition," at Internet Telephony Expo (ITEXPO).
StartupCamp will take place Monday evening, October 4th at the Los Angeles Convention Center, kicking off the three-day ITEXPO event. In a fast-paced, "ready, set, pitch" format, the second production of this event brings early-stage communications companies, developers, industry leaders and investors together to network and validate entrepreneur pitches in real time.
Twilio is widely recognized as a leader in the fast growing field of cloud communications, and was Platinum sponsor at the inaugural event, held earlier this year in Miami. "The enthusiasm in Miami was gratifying in so many ways, and we're excited to be a part of the upcoming Los Angeles event," said Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson. "We'll be doing what we can to make this a long-term success for the developer community."
Keynote Jeff Bonforte has been actively involved in the future of communications for years, dating back to his involvement in what became the Gizmo Project, and to his executive roles with Yahoo!'s Real-time Communications Group. Having raised over $35M as an entrepreneur, Jeff is now CEO of Xobni, a company whose next-generation products help millions of people quickly search and manage their contacts in Microsoft Outlook and on mobile devices.
"Our goal is to ensure that our attendees come away from the event highly enthused and well educated," said event co-founder Larry Lisser. "As an entrepreneur, Jeff is regularly sought for high-profile interviews, and can be found in more than 500 published articles. We're excited to feature Jeff's content and his unique speaking style, and again make StartupCamp a highlight of the ITEXPO event."
Up to five startups will be selected to give five-minute "pitch" presentations at the event. Early-stage companies building services or applications leveraging communications technologies that wish to be on the pitch roster, should apply online.
