For the 3rd consecutive year, CMP Media's Network Magazine has been named the Official Enterprise Publication of SUPERCOMM 2003, to be held June 1-5 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Network Magazine is a vital partner for driving enterprise network professionals to SUPERCOMM 2003, the industry's premier communications and information technology exhibition and conference. Steadily increasing over the last 3 years, 60% of SUPERCOMM's audience is interested in enterprise network products and services.

As part of the partnership, Network Magazine will work with SUPERCOMM to present onsite educational content. Network Magazine will host a panel event to address wireless security aimed at SUPERCOMM's enterprise network audience, sponsored exclusively by Fluke Networks. The Network Magazine panel event will be held on Wednesday, June 4 at 12:00 pm in room B302.

"We have selected Network Magazine as our SUPERCOMM 2003 Official Enterprise Publication because of its effective outreach and alignment with enterprise networking professionals," commented Jack Chalden, SUPERCOMM's General Manager. "The relationship we have with Network Magazine will complement this year's extensive enterprise marketing program. The program highlights the importance of attending SUPERCOMM to one of our core audiences -- the enterprise IT and network infrastructure decision maker -- and includes a targeted narrowcast email campaign, enterprise focused exhibitor and keynote interviews, special online polling of this audience, promotion of enterprise special events and programming, and direct mail vehicles."

"Network Magazine's circulation of 200,000 network IT professionals makes the publication a perfect fit for the Official Enterprise Publication designation," said Bill Howard, Network Magazine's Vice President/Publisher. "SUPERCOMM is committed to growing its enterprise network community, and Network Magazine is enthusiastic to work with SUPERCOMM 2003 toward this goal."
