Gathering of the ConsultantsGathering of the Consultants

If you spend much time reading this site, or if you are a former BCR reader, you probably recognize many of the names that recur as writers, contributors, interview subjects, etc. They're consultants who work with end user customers and have a wealth of first-hand experience in making communications technology work.

If you spend much time reading this site, or if you are a former BCR reader, you probably recognize many of the names that recur as writers, contributors, interview subjects, etc. They're consultants who work with end user customers and have a wealth of first-hand experience in making communications technology work.Early on in our site's life, Gary Audin, who's one of our regular bloggers, wrote a description of the major consultants' organization, the Society of Telecommunications Consultants. The STC is a great group of very knowledgeable people, and over the years, we at BCR/VoiceCon/No Jitter have been indebted to them for the generosity with which they've shared their time (which they don't bill us for), their expertise and their insights.

So I wanted to let you know about STC's Fall Conference, which happens in Reno next month. A lot of the folks you recognize from No Jitter will be on the program: Allan Sulkin, Michael Finneran; plus leading industry execs, including Dana Rasmussen, President of Siemens Communications North America, and Phil Edholm, Chief Technologist and VP Network Architecture for Nortel.

If you're an end user who needs a consultant, or a consultant who needs a group of peers, STC is the place to look.
