CMP Media Expands Its CT Expo in L.A. With Leading Industry AssociationsStrategic Alliance With MMTA, ECTF, and larta Brings New Ideas and Voices To Respected Industry ConferencePRNewswire With voice and data transmission at the forefront of Internet technologies, CMP Media and CT Expo, the largest annual telecommunications event on the West Coast, have signed three significant partners for the 2001 Expo. Joining the show are the MultiMedia Telecommunications Association (MMTA), the technology alliance for southern California (larta) and the Enterprise Computer Telephony Forum (ECTF). This will expand the CT Expo 2001 audience to incorporate technologists and solutions providers as well as strategists, academics and entrepreneurs. "At a time when the convergence of voice and data transmission is the next explosion in Internet technologies, CT Expo will be more relevant than ever in 2001," noted Simon Cooper, executive director of CT Expo. "Our new partners will expand the Expo's dialogue and educational content to include the most cutting-edge emerging technologies." For example, at the 2001 CT Expo in March, larta is sponsoring the Innovation City pavilion for start-up companies, ECTF will be performing an interoperability demonstration throughout the show and MMTA is hosting their boot camp: Convergence Technologies Crash Course. "CT Expo has evolved with sea changes in technology, infrastructure, services and providers to be applicable to any business and technology executive, manager, professional, academic or consultant," said Rohit Shukla, larta CEO. "CT Expo 2001 will showcase the dramatically innovative computer telephony technologies that are on the forefront of the minds of industry leaders that before were of only peripheral interest -- from next generation wireless networks to advanced voice over Internet protocols." At CT Expo 2001, communications products, services, and network applications will be introduced, demonstrated, discussed and debated in four major CT areas: Wireless, ASP, IP Telephony and Call Center/ Contact Center. This year's Expo is being held March 6-8, 2001 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
