"INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO is the best attended IP Communications event in the world," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and conference chairman. "The strength of this event and the reason why so many people attend is, and always will be, the unprecedented opportunity to learn. Our team of editors at INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine spent months assembling the most relevant curriculum that will be taught by the highest caliber faculty. I honestly believe the conference's educational content is the best available, and is the strength of this one-of-a-kind event."

The conference program features educational sessions, presented by foremost experts, on the most relevant topics like IMS, SIP, Open Source Telephony, Mobile and Wireless solutions, QoS, DSP Resource Boards, VoIP Security, and more.

In addition, new to this year's program will be several co-located events open to paid attendees of INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO that will focus on IPTV, Voice Peering, IMS, and IP Contact Centers, among others.

Tehrani added, "The scope and depth of content at this event represents a quantum leap not only from IT EXPOs of the past, but from any related technology conference. Every single important topic is covered under one roof by the core conference program, by the co-located IMS EXPO and Call Center 2.0 conferences, or by the workshops offered by our content partners, iHollywood, FierceMarkets and the Voice Peering Fabric."
