Ethernet is, without a doubt, one of the most important communications technologies developed in the last 30-plus years. High-performance Ethernet, known commonly as Carrier Ethernet, is rapidly becoming the technology of choice for controlling network communications costs, consolidating services onto a common infrastructure, and enabling more tailored services for consumers, enterprises, and operators.

Since its inception 11 years ago, Light Reading's mission has been to provide the most comprehensive, informative coverage of the Ethernet revolution. Our Ethernet events have garnered a reputation for attracting the best speakers and delivering the most up-to-date analyses of the latest trends in the Carrier Ethernet market. And with hundreds of service provider network planners, engineers and marketing professionals typically attending the conference and show floor, they have proven to be extraordinary networking opportunities.

Ethernet Expo Americas 2011 includes two parts: a conference, moderated by analysts from Light Reading's market research division, Heavy Reading, and an exhibition. The event will be held at The Hilton New York, Tuesday & Wednesday, November 8 & 9, 2011.

Ethernet Expo Americas 2011 comprises three major topics covered during two days:

• Next-generation business services for enterprises
• Wholesale services and interconnection
• Converged network solutions that support business services, consumer triple-play/VoD services, and mobile backhaul applications

Ethernet Expo Americas 2011 is designed to meet the information needs of service providers and enterprises that are working out what next-generation services and applications to deploy, and what infrastructures will help them do this in the most cost-effective and productive manner. The conference will feature informative presentations, keynotes from some of the biggest names in Ethernet, and lively panel discussions about all aspects of the growing and evolving Ethernet market.
