Lauderdale, Florida showing 200% growth year-over-year from 2005. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.itexpo.com\/\">www.itexpo.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>The conference will be held January 24-27, 2006 at the Ft. Lauderdale\/Broward Convention Center in <place w:st=\"on\" \/><city w:st=\"on\" \/>Ft. Lauderdale<\/city \/>, <state w:st=\"on\" \/>Florida<\/state \/><\/place \/>.<\/p>\n<p>According to TMC president and INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference Chairman, the growth in registrations for the educational programs at this year\u2019s event proves that this the event people serious about deploying VoIP are choosing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is now official&#8230; We are 200% higher in pre-registered attendance on a year-over-year basis, and on pace to set yet another attendance record,\u201d confirmed Tehrani.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJudging by a truly remarkable jump in registrations for conference session passes over 2005, it is clear that this is the event the most serious attendees are choosing. As budgets turn over to 2006, these attendees are choosing to attend the first VoIP event of the year because they realize INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference &amp; EXPO offers the most comprehensive educational program. Thousands of service providers, enterprises and government agencies seeking to deploy VoIP solutions in 2006 are coming to gather the data they need to make smart choices,\u201d added Tehrani.<\/p>\n<p>According to TMC, total attendance at last year&#8217;s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference &amp; EXPO in <place w:st=\"on\" \/><city w:st=\"on\" \/>Miami<\/city \/><\/place \/> topped 6,000 attendees. While the current trend projects attendance to be over 18,000, TMC officials caution against setting unrealistic expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo VoIP show comes anywhere near INTERNET TELEPHONY in terms of attendance. However, in the TMC tradition of under-promising and over-delivering we would rather be conservative and predict we will have as many as 8,500 attendees at this show,\u201d explained TMC\u2019s VP of Marketing, Michael Genaro.<\/p>\n<p>Genaro continued, \u201cINTERNET TELEPHONY Conference &amp; EXPO is still the only VoIP industry marketplace where buyers and sellers come together. The focus of the conference is educating enterprises, government, service providers, developers and resellers about how to select, deploy, build <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0<\/span>and market VoIP solutions. People come to this show because this is where the sellers are and many of our exhibitors will not be found at any other event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Registration for the show is now open.
