It’s a unique opportunity to quickly get up to speed with the state of the IP communications industry and enable yourself to best take advantage of related opportunities in 2005.

VON is generally smaller and much more focused than the larger communication/telecom events. The advantage of our approach is that it’s much easier to navigate through our community and meet the people you’re looking for. The pulver.com VON team is always available to help you connect with the community and make introductions when you’re on-site.

The conference registration fee includes daily: Continental Breakfast, Lunch, and Morning/Afternoon refreshments. Our sit-down three course conference lunch creates an environment for delegates to take advantage of additional business-to-business networking.
