A Conference on the Convergence
of the Internet, Telephone and Television Networking Industries

Vortex is an executive conference which confronts the business issues arising from the convergence of the Internet, telephone and television networking industries. The highest aim of Vortex is to assist in forming the new community of those who will be leading this convergence. Vortex is by invitation only, for senior industry executives, government policy makers, securities analysts, and press. Vortex is an IDG Executive Forums event, produced by technology pundit, Bob Metcalfe, and Network and Editorial Director, John Gallant.

Vortex 2000 again promises to deliver a compelling program and the unparalleled networking opportunities that Vortex attendees have come to expect.

Two of IDG's Leading Conferences
Come Together.
DEMO is the premier launch venue for new products, technologies, and companies and has established a reputation for identifying the products most likely to have a significant impact on the marketplace and market trends in the coming year. This year Vortex has joined forces with Demo's Executive Producer, Chris Shipley, one of the top trend spotters in the personal technology product industry to showcase the hottest convergence appliances in the Internet, telephone and television networking market. Following the same rigorous screening process used for DEMO, Chris Shipley and her staff will carefully evaluate and select each product to be showcased at Vortex 2000. If you are interested demonstrating at Vortex 2000, please contact Jim Forbes. It is not helpful to pitch Bob Metcalfe or Chris Shipley directly, as there is a formal process for reviewing products and any direct requests will be channeled through this process.
