UBM TechWeb's VoiceCon Changes Its Name to Enterprise Connect

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Today UBM TechWeb announced that VoiceCon, the leading event in enterprise communications, will be re-named Enterprise Connect®, with the tagline "Communications Transforming Business." The name change officially goes into effect at the close of this week's VoiceCon Orlando 2010, and will affect the entire portfolio of VoiceCon branded events including VoiceCon eNews and the VoiceCon Webinar Series.

Going forward, Enterprise Connect will build on the legacy VoiceCon has built over two decades, and will continue to spotlight the technologies and market forces integral to the future of the industry: Unified Communications, IP Telephony and Converged Networks. The new name, in addition to describing the technology's ability to connect users with each other and with business applications, reflects the purpose of a live event – the chance to connect face-to-face with the industry's most influential corporate IT decision makers, vendors, analysts and consultants.

"The VoiceCon brand has earned tremendous equity, and our major responsibility in re-naming the event has been to ensure that this equity is transferred to the new brand," said Eric Krapf, Enterprise Connect Co-Chair and Editor of No Jitter. "And with our new name as Enterprise Connect, the show will continue to evolve to serve the enterprise communications industry.
