Hostopia Brings New Seminar To Ispcon Fall 2003 [8th October 2003]

Standing room only web hosting audience expected to repeat

October 8, 2003, Fort Lauderdale – Hostopia announces a partnership with ISPCON to bring ISPs and other web hosting providers popular session content to the 10th Annual ISPCON Conference. The session will be held on Tuesday, October 21, 2003 at the Santa Clara Westin and Convention Center in Santa Clara, California at 1:30pm.

“Overwhelmingly, we see huge interest from service providers who seek business-critical advice and shared expertise to help them improve their hosting business,” says Paul D. Engels, vice president of marketing at Hostopia. “ISPCON has been the nexus for ISP business forums for over ten years, making it the ideal venue for Hostopia to present this in-demand message,” he adds.

The Evolution of the Hosting Category is the latest update to Hostopia’s popular seminar series run from 2002 to early 2003. The informative session details specific revenue creation opportunities in hosted services. Attendees will see clear indications of which product categories and market segments can offer the greatest revenue potential for service providers.

"Over the years, Hostopia has been a key partner for ISPCON," comments Jon Price, President of ISPCON producer Golden Group, Inc. "They understand the market and have helped hundreds of attendees build more profitable hosting businesses. Last year’s event was standing room only and we expect the same at this show."
