Unprecedented Exposure for Startup Technology Companies at CT Expo 2001- Entrepreneurs Raise Curtain on Next-Generation Communications Products and services -PRNewswire CT Expo 2001, taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center March 6-8, features Innovation City, an unprecedented opportunity for entrepreneurs at the convergence of voice, data and the Internet to demonstrate to the investment community, potential partners and buyers their innovative solutions for emerging communications needs. Sponsored by larta -- the technology alliance for southern California -- Innovation City is a new addition to CT Expo, the leading industry event for more than a decade. "CT Expo is designed to take the pulse of every communications industry sector, from IP telephony and call center technology to ASPs and wireless, and to provide a forum for learning how each of these sectors is converging to create the infrastructure for tomorrow's networks," said Simon Cooper, Executive Director, CT Expo. "Because entrepreneurs are not bound by established traditions, they have greater freedom to think creatively and have played a major role in developing innovations that have helped take communications to its present level. Innovation City will allow new players to showcase the ideas they have in development before key industry players and to present new communications tools that could further transform existing standards." Innovation City offers an inexpensive way for startups to present their products and ideas to conference attendees, which include venture capitalists, companies looking for business solutions, potential investors or partners and the media.
