I was cruisin' around and ran into this on MRVC's thread. Anyone know about this conference: NEEDHAM, Mass., Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziff-Davis (NYSE: ZD) today announced the addition of Bell Atlantic, Frontier Global Center and Newbridge Networks as sponsors of The IP Revolution: Networks in Transition. These three prominent companies join Lucent Technologies, 3COM Corporation, Nortel Networks, Williams Communications Solutions, Motorola and UUNET in supporting this conference, the first event in the recently launched ZD New World Networks Conference Series. The IP Revolution: Networks in Transition will be held December 1 and 2 at the San Francisco Marriott. Bell Atlantic is a Conference Partner for the event and Dr. Kamran Sistanizadeh, Chief Technology Officer for Bell Atlantic Global Networks, will present a keynote entitled Service Providers: Delivering on New World Services. Matt Parnell, Vice President of Product Management for Frontier Global Center, and Stu Aaron, Assistant Vice President of Marketing for Newbridge Networks, will participate on the IP Networking Futures panel, being hosted by Carol Wilson of Inter@ctiveWeek. Aaron will also speak at the conference dinner, hosted by Newbridge Networks, on December 1. [Oh ye who know NN, is Stu a good person for speaking? Will he impress the listeners?] The IP Revolution: Networks in Transition will provide enterprise networking professionals with transition and management strategies that will enable them to leverage IP-based solutions in designing and implementing their networks. Conference sessions will focus on IP technologies, service offerings, evaluating the economics of IP solutions and developing business cases to justify investments. It is the only event focused on managing the transition of enterprise networks from frame and/or cell-based switched networks to next generation IP-based enterprise solutions of VPNs and IP telephony technologies. [Now I understand why I got a mailer from ASND on VPN's] ZD New World Networks Conference Series was developed by ZD Studios and presented in conjunction with Interop and Inter@ctiveWeek. The Series is designed to help end-users, service providers, equipment vendors and content generators manage the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition from traditional voice-driven circuit-switched networks to data intensive packet-switched networks. This could be nothing, or it could be another press opportunity to get NN out in front of the share buying public. Either way, I like when my investments are proactive. Later, (-8 Dennis 8-) P.S. How much later was TSE open than the NYSE?
