Hostopia Introduces it's Poupular Seminar Series to IPSCON Spring 2003 [26th March 2003]

Fort Lauderdale – Hostopia announces a partnership with ISPCON to bring yet another value added session to the 10th Annual ISPCON Conference on Thursday, April 24, 2003 at the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott in Baltimore, Maryland at 1:30pm.

Thriving in Today’s Hosting Industry is an updated strategic business briefing on the state of the shared hosting services industry covering trends and predictions from 2001 to 2007. Attendees will see clear indications of where elusive profits can be found in hosting, what areas are still in high growth and which are doomed to commoditization.

"The Hostopia-ISPCON partnership is very important to us, we're honored to expand our long-standing relationship with one of the clear leaders in the hosting market," comments ISPCON President Jon Price, "Hostopia brings to the event much needed information for our attendees and adds true value to the show."

Thriving in Today’s Hosting Industry ran as an online seminar in October 2002 featuring panel speakers Elliott Noss, CEO of Tucows and Paul Stapleton, financial expert from Rampart & Associates. The session attracted over 600 participants and rave comments. The updated session covers the latest hosting industry trends and gets very specific about how to increase revenues and profits.

“Overwhelmingly, we see a huge interest by service providers to get business-critical advice and shared expertise to help them improve their business. Hostopia alone simply cannot run enough seminars to cover the demand. ISPCON is the perfect partner for delivering our business-enhancing content to hosting service executives because they have the national coverage, the 10-year reputation and the
program excellence to help us get this vital message into the hands of managers who want and need the data,” says Paul D. Engels, Vice President of Marketing at Hostopia.

The partnership will provide many benefits to those that register for Hostopia’s seminar. Registrants wishing to attend the entire three-day meeting will reap the rewards and benefits of the full conference program at a 50% discounted rate.

In addition, registered seminar attendees unable to attend the full conference will receive a complimentary exhibit and events pass. To obtain a free exhibits and events pass, please visit http://www.ispcon.com/spring2003/attend-register.asp.
