Computer Telephony Expos' 9th 'Meet the Press' Road Show Wrap-Up
NEW YORK, /PRNewswire/
Miller Freeman, Inc.'s computer telephony trade show, Computer
Telephony Spring Expo '99, today announced the completion of
a winter "Meet the Press" road show, where current and
prospective exhibitors had an opportunity to showcase their
technology to members of the industry press. Held in New York
City in December, the event attracted over 150 companies, who
presented a range of computer telephony products and
services. The event was the third this year, and the ninth since
its launch in 1997.
The road show brought together leading manufacturers and
developers in the computer telephony industry to meet with the
most influential writers and editors. Vendors demonstrated
dozens of new products, and interviewed for upcoming articles
and test drives in Call Center, Computer Telephony, Network
and Teleconnect magazines. Miller Freeman executives were
also on hand to discuss specific needs and ideas.
To kick off the show, Steve Schneiderman, Group Vice President
of Voice and Data for Miller Freeman, Inc., presented a look at
the company's continued commitment to connecting buyers and
sellers within the computer telephony marketplace. Miller
Freeman significantly increased its investment in computer
telephony over the course of the last year, expanding the
scope, staff, and size of its magazines, events, and web sites.
The end result, for 1999 and beyond, is for the Miller Freeman
media to plug into any global market -- from Europe, to South
America, to Asia Pacific -- and provide worldwide marketing
opportunities, products, and services.
"This industry holds the technology, the resources, the
standards, the computing power, and the buyers to make
computer telephony the single most important discipline for the
competitive enterprise," said Mr. Schneiderman. "To take
advantage of this growing niche, Miller Freeman, Inc. has made
a major investment in the future of the global computer
telephony market. We have increased our editorial and exhibit
management staff to unite buyers with sellers, and are preparing
for the most successful Computer Telephony Expo event to
date."
Computer Telephony Expos are the number one computer
telephony industry events. Launched in 1991, the show was the
first of its kind, and remains the largest and most respected
computer telephony trade show worldwide. In 1999, there will
be two shows in North America, and another twelve in Europe,
Asia, and South America. Computer Telephony Expo Spring '99
will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, March 2-4,
1999. Over 600 companies will exhibit, offering a range of
Internet Telephony, Call Centers, Interactive Voice Response,
Voice Mail, Fax-On-Demand, and other innovative solutions.
