Pulvermedia announce details regarding the conference, speakers and sponsors for the eleventh annual VON Europe Spring event, set to take place 2-5 June 2008 in Amsterdam. The upcoming event, now branded as VON.x will address the unprecedented changes taking place in the Internet Communications industry.

"VON.x in Amsterdam will discuss how today's diverse networks will soon transition to IP, to create a single, unified infrastructure that produces next-generation communications services, and enables intelligent handheld devices to take over many of the tasks performed today by PCs," said Bob Emmerson, European Editor for VON Magazine, and one of the content creators for VON.x Europe, based in Amsterdam. "VON.x Europe will focus on wireless technologies, and unified communications more than any previous VON event has, and it's sure to be one of the most leading-edge events of the year."

The five comprehensive tracks at VON.x Europe are: Wireless Futures; the Innovators Forum; "Unified Everything"; Video on the Move; and Voice on the Net. Featured presentations include a keynote address by Skype's Chief Product Strategist, Rodrigo Madanes. Industry Perspectives are planned for Jeff Pulver, Founder and Chairman of Pulvermedia; Mitel Network's Chairman, Terry Matthews; Eric Lennon, CTO for UPC Broadband Holding Services, BV; and Digium's CTO and Founder Mark Spencer.

Almost 100 of Europe's foremost thought leaders are presenting at the conference, sharing their views on the current and future state of IP communications in Europe, and around the globe.
