Nov 4, 2002

CMP Media's XChange Conferences brings together high level Solution Provider Executives, Vendors and Distributors from across the industry and offers an exclusive opportunity to meet face-to-face. Now in its 8th year XChange 2003 (formerly Breakaway XChange) will be held August 24 - 27, 2003 in Orlando, FL.

XChange 2003 helps you explore new markets, new customers and new revenue opportunities -- all in a relaxed, multi-sponsor resort setting. XChange 2003 is the excellent opportunity to recruit, train, educate and network in four days of keynotes, lectures, debates and discussions revolving around critical channel issues and trends.

"XChange events are a very important part of our strategy to grow our business," said Brian Okun, Director, Sales & Marketing of CHIPS Computer Consulting LLC, in Lake Success, New York. "From the opportunity to have meaningful discussions about our industry with so many peers from around the country, to engaging in one-on-one conversations with high-level executives from the major vendors in our industry, and hopefully the chance to spot the next new technology that will help us grow into the future."
