10 – 11:15am, Beyond Boxes: The Future of the PBX

Voxeo Participant: Dan York, Director of Conversations

Though the PBX has been the heart of enterprise telephony and arguably the heart of the business itself, hosted and cloud-based telephony are finally convincing customers to loosen their death grip on gear in the on-premises closet. This session will explain the advantages, such as ever-current applications, support for distributed workforces and (ironically) unprecedented user-level control. And, oh yeah, its opex-based model is pretty great for cash-strapped companies, too.

Moderator: Mike Oeth, CEO, Junction Networks

Panelists: Chris Thompson, Senior Product Manager, AdTran Dan York, Director Of Emerging Communication Technology, Voxeo Thomas Monopoli, Director of Systems Engineering, MetaSwitch

11:30 – 12:30pm, The Apps Race: Building a Developer Community in the New Telecom World

Voxeo participant: Dan York, Director of Conversations

The Apple App Store has proven the value of embracing third-party application developers to bring innovative, sticky and useful applications to subscribers. But how can service providers leverage the idea? To date device manufacturers like Research in Motion Ltd. and Palm Inc., or platform providers like Google Inc. and Broadsoft Corp. have led the applications charge-and reaped the benefits. This session will examine where carriers fit into the value chain — and how they can build viable ecosystems of their own.

Moderator: Michael Khalilian, Chairman & President, the IMS Forum

Panelists: Dan York, Director of Conversations, Voxeo Alec Saunders, CEO, Iotum Thomas Howe, CEO, Jaduka
