Message from the IEEE Communications EXPO Chairs Terry Kero, Anthony Neal Graves, President, Myanni, Inc. General Manager, Digital Enterprise IEEE GLOBECOM/EXPO 2006 Group, Intel Corp. General Chair IEEE Communications EXPO Chair On behalf of the executive committee, we are pleased to invite you to the annual IEEE Communications EXPO, to be held on November 28-30, 2006 along with IEEE’s 49th annual GLOBECOM 2006 conference in San Francisco, California. This new IEEE Communications EXPO is geared for “designers and developers” and will feature exhibits and a comprehensive technical program focused on education and information for industry engineers and their management. The EXPO technical program includes a Design & Developer Forum with 15 seminars, 23 tutorials, 4 workshops, and a brand new ACCESS’06 Business Forum. The ACCESS’06 Forum is a key component of Communications EXPO. It is a multi-disciplinary executive forum focused on the “Last Mile” access technologies. The forum covers broadband and wireless access technologies currently pursued by service providers, municipalities, and other user communities. Topics include technology and business issues surrounding the introduction of FTTH, xDSL, cable, broadband over power line, WiFi, WiMax, 3G and beyond in broadband access networks. Highlights of forum include keynote addresses by senior Government and industry executives, executive panels, and 20 sessions covering the technology, architecture, economics, management, and applications aspects of the last mile networks. San Francisco is the ideal location for this forum because of the plethora of broadband wireless projects proposed for the city and in the neighboring Silicon Valley. We have invited 20,000 communications designers and developers looking to meet manufacturers and suppliers of products and services related to components, subsystems, and systems including hardware, middleware, and software. To review the complete program of the IEEE Communications EXPO and the IEEE GLOBECOM 2006 international conference, visit http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2006/ If you are interested in exhibiting, please contact Connie Shaw, Exhibit Sales Account Manager at (703) 631-6200 or Toll Free (800) 564-4220. We look forward to a great conference and to your participation.
