IP Sizzles 2009

While it may sound a little corny, the name IP Sizzles does have some….sizzle. Coming up in August the IP Sizzle 2009 Conference will be held August 11 & 12 in Dallas, and August 13 & 14 in Miami.

If you’re like me, you may not have heard of the IP Sizzle conferences, but this is the 6th time the event is being held. According to the press release the IP Sizzle conference is for:

technology resellers and integrators in the space of phone, data networking and CCTV. In addition to technical presentations, IP Sizzles 2009 also focuses on key business aspects and sales skills to succeed in today’s challenging economy. The overarching themes this year will be Unified Communications and Video for SMB. Last but not least, the show covers many areas where IP Technology can reduce client’s service bills which allow many systems to quickly pay for themselves.

If you happen to be in Dallas or Miami in August, it may be worth checking out and seeing what is new and coming on the horizon for IP communications.

Global Connect 2008

This is admittedly very short notice, but in my defense I just learned of this conference myself and its in my ‘back yard’ so to speak. The Global Connect 2008 conference is being held at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, TX near Dallas starting tomorrow, June 1. Actually, for some there is even a Leadership Conference being held today. The stuff going on Sunday is primarily Special Interest Group meetings and such, along with a reception being hosted by Nortel. Nortel’s President of Enterprise Solutions, Joel Hackney, is also kicking off the general session with a keynote speech. For more details about the conference and what you can expect to see or learn there, take a look at the Advance Program.
