The advanced interactive messaging service from BellSouth Wireless Data was chosen to be showcased during the event. The company will provide RIM Inter@ctive(TM) Pager 950's to the 500 attendees at the show. Produced by Red Herring Communications Inc., Venture Market South will feature 44 of the Southeast's most promising private technology companies, which will make presentations in an attempt to secure venture capital financing and business development deals. When equipped with the BellSouth Interactive Paging Service, attendees will be able to easily communicate via Internet e-mail to anywhere in the world, pager, phone or fax, with their colleagues at the office and peers at the conference. "Venture Market South is a perfect venue to showcase our industry-leading technology to an audience that epitomizes the term 'people on-the-go,'" said William F. Lenahan, president and CEO of BellSouth Wireless Data. "These deal makers need to stay always connected so that they do not miss a million dollar opportunity, even when they're at a conference like Venture Market South. The BellSouth Interactive Paging Service can help them to do just that." "We select only the hottest and most productive technologies available today to showcase at our Venture Market programs," said John Mecklenburg, managing editor, events.
