VoIP Developer Show Packed Out in San Francisco

August 2, 2005

Reports on attendance at TMC's VoIP Developer Conference, which opened this afternoon in San Francisco, give an idea of the intense interest in the technologies, strategies and tools for developing IP communications. According to reports, communications professionals are already packing out the show on its first day.

Greg Galitzine, editorial director of Internet Telephony magazine, writes in his VoIP blog:

"I just took a peek into the sessions, and I can tell you this -- they are indeed well attended. In fact one of the sessions is SRO, or standing room only. If this is a sign of things to come, the next three days are going to be gangbusters.� If you are in the area, you absolutely need to get down here."

And on his VoIP�Blog, TMC President Rich Tehrani echoed Greg's excitement:

"TMC's VoIP Developer Conference is a madhouse. It truly is. The conferences started about 20 minutes ago and we have been scrambling to get more chairs to put into the sessions to keep up with all the people.

"We have been overwhelmed with traffic.

"One of our sessions has a packed room, chairs out the door and standing room only behind the chairs!

"All in all this is a fabulous sign for the VoIP market and these developers will be coming up with some amazing applications I look forward to seeing in the future!"

If you're one who thinks seeing is believing, here's a photo from one of today's conference sessions that shows how developers are squeezing in to sessions:
