Illinois Institute of Technology Conference to Explore the World of VoIP

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - September 23, 2010) -  The Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) announced today that its Sixth annual VoIP Conference and Expo will take place October 12-14, 2010 in Chicago. This conference, where industry and academia meet, brings together technical professionals and executives from the data and telecommunications industry, standards bodies, government agencies, as well as the business community. The presentations, exhibits, social events, and session breaks provide opportunities to discover different aspects of this rapidly evolving field.

"The overall theme of the conference is 'Where Industry Meets Academia,'" said Carol Davids, Alva C. Todd Professor of Information Technology and Management, Director, IIT SAT Voice over IP Laboratory. "Many conferences strive to bring senior level technology and business leaders together in one place but fall short of that goal. The IIT VoIP conference does just that. A full 80% of the attendees are typically senior business and technical executives from industry, representing both large multi-national companies as well as small start-ups in the space."

Featured speakers include senior executives from: Alcatel-Lucent AT&T Avaya Cisco Cox Communications FCC GSMA Microsoft Motorola RIM Mu Dynamics NESS NetQuest NGN/IMS Forum Nokia Radvision SIP-CLF Telchemy Tellabs UC Strategies
