Dear David,

The March issue of CIO Magazine featured "Untangling Telecom," an article that detailed the tough and expensive challenges CIOs face in negotiating for networked telecom services - and called out the fact that for most CIOs, telecom negotiations are a brand new responsibility. The article was on point and in case you missed it deserves your attention.

For the past 14 years, CCMI, the Center for Communications Management Information, has given executives proven guidance and advice on securing world class telecom contracts at our Telecom Negotiation Conference. Held twice annually, this program has attracted over 2,000 professionals from top companies like Aetna, American Express, Exxon Mobil, FedEx, John Deere, P&G, Walgreens and hundreds more. You can see more listed on our website:

And now, I'm inviting you to join us at the next session of the Telecom Negotiation Conference in San Diego on September 18-19.

When you attend, you'll join your peers and an outstanding group of expert speakers, led by Conference Chairperson Hank Levine, partner in the law firm Levine, Blaszak, Block & Boothby and the recognized number one attorney for telecom contracts. (Just ask AT&T, Verizon Business, Qwest, SPRINT and other carriers about Hank). They'll take you through complex ins and outs of telecom contract negotiation and:

> Show you how to retain your negotiation leverage despite the
  unprecedented consolidation in the telecom industry.

> Explain why IP, and the move to applications like VoIP, is as
  much of a threat as an opportunity.

> Reveal tested RFP steps that get you the most attractive proposals
  and lock-in the best terms.

> Zero-in on critical contract fundamentals unique to telecom services
  you are buying - and show you how to dodge cookie-cutter clauses
  that burden you with high risk spend commitments.

> And much more...

CCMI's Telecom Negotiation Conference also features eight focused breakout sessions, ranging from MPLS, VoIP and wireless deals to Service Level Agreements, that let you customize the agenda. And there are plenty of networking opportunities throughout the entire program. You can see the complete agenda and registration details at
