I walked away from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itexpo.com\/\">ITEXPO<\/a> this past week with great pride knowing the attendees, conferees and exhibitors all thought this was the best IP communications event they have ever attended. Thankfully many of these testimonials are videotaped and written down. You will see them all soon.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><br \/>\nSatisfaction<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\">: ITEXPO has been growing nicely for years but this show has been our personal best and we are thrilled about it. The show was launched in 1999 and we experienced some tough years after the telecom meltdown. We are thrilled to be part of the rebirth of IP telephony &ndash; commonly referred to as VoIP or IP communications.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><br \/>\nPride<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\">: I am lucky enough to have found the best team in the trade show business to work with. But TMC is also the leading media company in IP communications &ndash; online, in print and at live events. I can take no credit for this. It all goes to the first class team that works so hard to make everything TMC produces a market leader. Thank you team.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><br \/>\nGratitude<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\">: Without attendees, exhibitors and the first class team I am lucky enough to be surrounded by I would be merely a blogger or perhaps a well-read figure in the IP communications space. So thanks to the TMC team and the thousands of attendees, exhibitors, analysts and members of the press that made this show such a success.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><br \/>\nDear Rich,<\/span> <\/div>\n<div><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\"><br \/>\nSitting on the plane back to Sweden I am reflecting back on a fantastic<\/span> <span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt\">Ingate week at the IT Expo in Fort Lauderdale.
