CMP Media's Internet Telecom Expo to Join Forces With TECHXNY: Expanded Event Rescheduled for June 2002- New York Event Will Broaden Continuous-Improvement Opportunities For Telecommunications, Wireless, Networking And Business Computing Professionals -PRNewswire In an effort to better serve both exhibitors and attendees, CMP Media has decided to postpone Internet Telecom Expo originally scheduled for New York in September. The event, now planned for June 2002 at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, will broaden its appeal by joining forces with another premier technology event -- TECHXNY -- which includes PC EXPO, a long-running showcase for information technology products and services. "Despite the tremendous turnout we had at last year's Internet Telecom Expo, it simply is not the right time to bring technology buyers and sellers together in 2001," said Simon Cooper, executive director of Internet Telecom Expo. "While they re-evaluate strategies and technology initiatives in light of recent market realities, we will be designing a stronger Internet Telecom by co-locating with another popular technology show that can share strong crossover audiences." Last year's inaugural Internet Telecom Expo brought 10,855 attendees to New York along with 160 high-tech exhibitors and some 250 media representatives. PC EXPO has a successful 19-year history of bringing buyers and sellers of technology together. TECHXNY brings a variety of content-rich programs aimed especially at professional IT communities in the New York area. "When the accounting is done, we believe our 2001 TECHXNY audience will reach 50,000 people and we're looking for even bigger crowds in 2002 when we join forces with Internet Telecom Expo," said Christina Condos, show director, PC EXPO and TECHXNY. "This event will cover all aspects of technology for businesses from small to medium to enterprise -- it will be the most important IT event for the East Coast." Internet Telecom Expo and the PC EXPO/TECHXNY 2002 events are scheduled for June 25-27 at the Javits Center. The two events will attract attendance from business IT managers, systems integrators, the financial community, angel investors and an array of telecommunications, call center, wireless, and Internet vendors, as well as industry analysts and news media. -- Internet Telecom Expo offers a comprehensive conference program
