The annual Internet service provider conference and trade show, now in its 15th year, will make its Chicago, Illinois debut at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, from May 13 to 15.

"Motorola is pleased to be the corporate sponsor of the 2008 ISPCON spring event," says Ken DuBuque, director of indirect sales for Motorola's government and public safety wireless broadband team. "The industry continues to grow and ISPCON provides a great environment for service providers to interact with each other and exhibitors."

Before the event, Motorola will be hosting the ISPCON DealCenter (ispcon.com/dealcenter.php), which is an online system that enables attendees to view one another's names, titles, companies and industry sectors to figure out whom they would like to meet at the show.

The DealCenter enables attendees to set up 30-minute meetings with new client prospects and partners, and in doing so, introduce participants to new business potential and increasing event ROI, says Motorola.

At ISPCON Spring 2008, Motorola will be featuring indoor and outdoor residential and enterprise fixed, mesh and indoor solutions from its MOTOwi4 wireless broadband portfolio, including the Canopy 400 OFDM-based point-to-multipoint series.

As the longest-running event solely focused on helping service providers advance their businesses, ISPCON focuses on the industry's emerging Internet services and technologies. Hundreds of executives from wired and wireless ISPs, web hosts, CLECs, MSPs, ITSPs and VCs are expected to attend the three day conference and trade show.

Last year's ISPCON Spring 2007 was held in Orlando, FLorida, and focused on the theme "What's Hot in Internet Services."
