Conference in Los Angeles this Fall

Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC(R)) today announced that Bernd Kuhlin, Siemens' President of Enterprise Networks, Siemens ICN, has accepted an invitation to deliver the Grand Opening Presentation at INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) Conference & EXPO Fall 2004 in Los Angeles (www.itexpo.com). The conference takes place October 4-7, 2004 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. Mr. Kuhlin will speak Tuesday, October 5th, the first full day of the conference program, at 8:30 a.m.

INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) Conference & EXPO is a targeted and innovative three-day conference and tradeshow. Judging from the countless testimonials given by attendees and exhibitors, it is considered to be the leading event for companies seeking to learn about selecting and deploying VoIP solutions.

"Everyone involved in IP telephony recognizes Siemens as a leading global provider of integrated voice and data networks and solutions for enterprises, carriers, and service providers. Since nearly 75% of the attendees at the show fall into one of these categories, I couldn't be more pleased that Mr. Kuhlin has chosen to be a headline participant in the 10th INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) Conference & EXPO," said TMC president and conference chairman, Rich Tehrani.

"As IP telephony and VoIP solutions gain tremendous momentum as a cost-effective alternative to traditional phone services, small and large enterprises, the Government, public sector organizations -- as well as service providers and resellers -- gather at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO each year because they know they'll leave with tangible solutions and ideas they can implement immediately. And Mr. Kuhlin's speech only adds to the value," added Tehrani.

"I am excited to have the opportunity to address this 10th INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO," said Bernd Kuhlin. "This conference offers an excellent opportunity to address the most important issues affecting communications over IP as we witness enterprises adopting the most innovative, presence-enabled solutions."
