Technology Marketing Corporation announces that all dedicated hotel room blocks for next week’s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO in Miami have completely sold out. The Fontainebleau and the Doubletree Surfcomber on Miami Beach both report that all ITEXPO-designated rooms have been sold.

“The hotels are sold out, and save for a few remnant spaces which remain available, the exhibit hall is filled. All elements are pointing toward a terrific event,” proclaimed TMC President Rich Tehrani.

Tehrani added, “And what’s most exciting is that registration figures are trending ahead of the 2007 conference, which was by all accounts one of the most successful ITEXPOs we’ve ever staged. As I write this, people from 74 countries have registered to attend the three-day event. It appears that buyers and sellers are once again poised to gather in Miami to close deals, form partnerships and develop new relationships – the hallmarks of the ITEXPO experience.”
