Networld+Interop Becomes Interop

The Philter The Philter 4/25/2005

11 AM -- From this morning's PR pile:

NetWorld+Interop 2005, produced by MediaLive International Inc., announced today that to reflect the shift in the IT infrastructure industry towards IP convergence, the event has been renamed Interop.

I guess my suggested new name of "NetWorld+Interop+VOIP+Collaboration+Mobility+Security2005 Conference and Exhibition Trade Show Expo" wasn't taken seriously.

Fine.

re: Networld+Interop Becomes Interop
USTA and IEC broke up over there sponsoring of Supercomm last year. There was a press release on this. If you search around, I am sure you can find it. This is not an April Fools joke.

what did I miss...??"

Nothing, it's just that to more accurately represent the state of the market and to come line with Sarbanes Oxley disclosure requirements they must start calling it "Prettydecentbutnoforwardguidancecomm" next year.

re: Networld+Interop Becomes Interop Since it's renamed Interop, can it be moved back to the Muscone Center? While they're at it, can't they also ban anybody who is wearing a suit? I miss the old days where tee shirt, jeans, birkenstocks, and a pony tail were the dress code.
