PTC 2009 Highlight Opportunties in Telecom Markets

Over 1,000 attendees officially registered for the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) conference held in Hawaii from January 17-21, 2009 with 4,000 more participating in the event as "networkers." This number was lower than in previous years, but the quality of the attendees in terms of having top executives of leading companies more than made up for the quantity of delegates. Besides, the PTC is slightly different from other shows in that it has five times as many other participants who can register as a "networker" and still participate in the many activities surruonding the event. Set in the paradise-like setting of the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki--it might be hard to believe that any work can actually get done here. But make no mistake about it-a lot of business is being done at the PTC and the quality and depth of the sessions are as good as any.
