TELECOM ’04 – October 9-13,
Las Vegas, Nevada
March 30,
2004, Washington, D.C. - Today, two prominent telecom
groups announced that they will team up to provide cutting-edge
technology education programming at the telecom industry’s
fastest growing trade show. Looking to build on record attendance
last year, the United States Telecom Association (USTA) has
expanded the programming for TELECOM ’04 by inviting ATIS,
the leader in communications and information technology standards
development, to share its knowledge and expertise with thousands
of telecom industry professionals meeting in Las Vegas for USTA’s
TELECOM ’04.
“ATIS’ technology education program adds another
powerful dimension to TELECOM ’04,” said Walter
B. McCormick, Jr., president and CEO of USTA. “TELECOM
’04 is where the industry’s leaders and visionaries
come together to look to the future and ATIS’ dynamic
sessions will help guarantee that this is one show that communications
professionals cannot afford to miss.”
“ATIS is very proud to be a part of TELECOM ’04,”
said Susan M. Miller, president and CEO of ATIS. “We look
forward to producing a program that clearly defines the path
and direction of new communications technologies for the benefit
of the leading telecommunications executives who annually attend
this important event.”
In addition to producing the TELECOM ’04 technology program,
ATIS plans to conduct meetings of its standards committees in
conjunction with TELECOM ’04.
USTA and ATIS will announce the technical sessions presenters
for the featured programs in the coming months. TELECOM ’04
Annual Conference & Exhibition will be held October 9-13,
2004 at the Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada. For more information
