Two jam packed conferences for one great value!

Mark your calendars today!! Inform 2007 is scheduled for March 28-31, 2007 and will be hosted at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Hotel in Orlando, FL. Capitalize on Wireless/Wireline convergence as CTIA will also be happening at the Orange County Convention Center from March 27th through March 29th.

Nortel invites you and your colleagues to participate in two and a half days of visionary executive keynotes and educational workshops focused on helping you deliver the Next Generation of Converged Broadband Services.

CONVERGENCE continues to be the major trend in telecommunications today. Service providers face the challenge of delivering new, higher margin services while simplifying operations and reducing costs for sustainable growth. To meet this challenge, providers are converging their networks to achieve consistent delivery of any service (voice, video, and data) over any access type (wireline and/or wireless) for more powerful and productive communications. Nortel is delivering solutions for network convergence with the carrier-grade reliability and service intelligence our customers expect from us--our missions are perfectly aligned. Nortel offers revenue enabling, cost effective solutions in key areas that will foster and promote convergence such as packetization of voice (wireline & wireless), ultra-broadband access (wireline & wireless), multiservice edge and metro Ethernet packet networking, multimedia communications networking, and optical services and transport.

The conference opens on Wednesday, March 28. The featured program of the opening afternoon is a keynote address by Nortel leaders, CEO Mike Zafirovski and CTO John Roese. The following days will include other general session panels or keynotes as well as workshops ranging from technical material to solution-oriented programs. Presentations will feature Nortel subject matter experts as well as customers. All workshops are customized to allow time for interaction between attendees and presenters. Inform 2007 runs through Saturday at noon, and will CONVERGE with CTIA* to continue the education and networking! Exhibit floor passes to CTIA Wireless 2007 are INCLUDED in the price of Inform 2007. Some programs will be extremely technical in nature while others will be high level.

You will also have an opportunity to see Nortel's latest technical and applications solutions in live demonstrations on the show floor at CTIA Wireless 2007 while providing adequate time for networking with both Nortel SMEs and industry colleagues.

Registration is restricted to Nortel customers, Nortel account primes escorting customers to the workshop, and workshop presenters. *Start planning to attend today as we will be offering extremely discounted prices for EARLY BIRD registration.
