Panel Suggestions Please
--------------------------------------
On the schedule (http://ecommconf.com/2009/schedule/) we have 2 panels of 45 minutes each. But we are yet to decide on the topics. We'd love to know what you think we should cover? Simply reply to this email with suggestions. 

Two example suggestions are:

1- Are the stories of the death of traditional Telcos overblown? The panel will predict the role of Telcos in a world where communications moves away from point to point to mobile and social.

2- The New Voice: How will voice be integrated into applications, service and Web 2.0 communications?

What's New?
-------------------
* Tutorial - "iPhone to IfByPhone: How We Built Our iPhone Apps for Less than $5000"

* Interview - Andreas Constantinou on Mobile OS's and App Stores - see http://ecommconf.com/blog/2009/01/mobile-operating-systems.html

* Sponsor - Mobivox (Break Slot).

What's Coming?
------------------------
* Over the course of the next 10 days, another 4 pre-conference interviews will be published here http://eCommConf.com/blog. These will be available in both audio download (MP3) and text (transcribed) formats. Highlights will include Richard Whitt, Washington Telecom and Media Counsel, Google as well as Russ McGuire, VP of Strategy, Sprint. (tip: sign-up on the right column of the blog to have these delivered by email).

* Two more sponsors are close to sign up.

General
-----------
* Event momentum continues unabated week after week! Now is the time to tell our friends and to gather the crowds; the event is just over a month away.

* Following repeated requests for fast and reliable WiFi during the event, we've decided not to rely on the venue's own infrastructure. Instead we'll be having a custom network and bandwidth brought in and provisioned. If you would like to become the WiFi sponsor reply to this email.

Reminder
--------------
The event is gaining a lot of traction with top industry strategist's and decision makers who like the mix and format. We have positioned the show, as The World's Leading-Edge Telecom, Internet Communications and Mobile Innovation event, and thus far have attracted the World's Leading Futurist's, and smartest, most forward thinking exec's who are exploring the future of communications.

It acts as a radar for thought leaders, CEO's, CXO's, CTO's,CIO's VC's, Head's of Strategy, Technical Innovator's and those who are responsible for evaluating, specifying and creating communications infrastructure or applications.

* Extended Early Bird Registration ends THIS Friday (30th January) and will not be extended again. Purchase tickets before then here: http://www.amiando.com/ecomm2009.html
