UBM TechWeb's Enterprise Connect Orlando 2011 Announces Featured Session Lineup

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise Connect, formerly VoiceCon, produced by UBM TechWeb, today announced its conference featured session lineup. Enterprise Connect will be held February 28-March 3 at the Gaylord Palms Hotel in Orlando, FL. Registration is now open at http://www.enterpriseconnect.com/orlando/.

In addition to a keynote lineup presenting top executives from Cisco, Microsoft, Avaya, Skype and HP, each day Enterprise Connect will feature panels analyzing the key issues in enterprise communications and collaboration. The featured sessions include:

"The Enterprise Connect featured sessions will address the linchpin issues facing all of the stakeholders in the communications and collaboration community, said Fred Knight, Enterprise Connect General Manager and Co-Chair. "IT executives and decision-makers get insight into how their peers are evolving their architectures and services," he continued, "the vendors have the opportunity to present their vision and capabilities, and the press and analysts are able to hear from both enterprises and the vendors, and determine whether the two are speaking to – or past – each other."

The featured sessions and keynotes bolster an already-rich Enterprise Connect program that will showcase the full range of platforms, services and applications that comprise modern communications and collaboration systems. The areas of focus for this year's conference are:

• Unified Communications
• Mobility
• The Cloud and Virtualization
• SIP and SIP Trunking
• Video and Collaboration
• The Social Enterprise
• Planning/Implementing IP Telephony
• Managing Technology, Costs and People

"We're committed to having customer organizations speak from the podium, and we're delighted with the number and quality we'll present in Orlando," said Eric Krapf, Enterprise Connect Co-Chair and Lead Blogger for its editorial website NoJitter.com. "More than a dozen senior enterprise executives will be either presenting or participating in our panels, from companies like Northrup Grumman, Pfizer, MODEC, Grainger, Pearson, LSU and ESPN."

Rounding out the conference program will be the newly introduced Strategies Summit, which will offer two days of high-level analysis targeted at CIOs/VPs and other high-level decision-makers who are assessing their options for communications and collaboration technologies and business partners.
