  With apologies to those folks subscribed to both lists.

  I'll add my voice to Ben's.  I've been attending VON (Voice on the
Net) since the spring of 2001.  If you're interested in the direction
of ip-based communication, this is the show to see.

Subject: Fall VON 2004 Internet2 Discount 

In an effort to bring the Internet2 and VON communities closer
together, new Internet2 corporate member Pulver.com is extending its
commitment to Internet2 by offering Internet2 university members a
discounted registration rate for the Fall VON 2004 Conference and Expo
(http://www.pulver.com/von/) to be held October 18-21 at the Hynes
Convention Center in Boston, MA.  Internet2 university members are
invited to register for the "Full Conference" package at the rate of
$600 by visiting http://www.pulver.com/von/register.html and
registering with the priority code "INTERNET2".

Fall VON 2004 will feature FCC Chairman, Michael Powell, New Hampshire
Senator, John Sununu, and broad array of IP communications industry
leaders.  See the program online.

I have found past VONs to be of exceptional quality and I strongly
encourage anyone who is seriously looking at the future of campus
communications beyond POTS to attend.  Other industry shows can feel
like an endless series of infomercials, but not VON.  VON is
definitely commercial, but there is also a real sense of community and
common interest, especially with regards to technical standards and
communications policy.
