I should point out that we have over 200 exhibitors participating including Asterisk / Digium, Cisco, Packet8, ShoreTel, Skype, and more. Seems like ITEXPO is the week for important telecom / VoIP news to break, including <a href="http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/skype/skype-to-name-new-ceo.asp">Skype looking to hire a new CEO</a>. I'm excited for Startup Camp. Now for some important ITEXPO happenings:<br />
