Instant Messaging Planet 2002 Conference & Expo is designed 
for professionals interested in better understanding the business 
opportunities presented by enterprise Instant Messaging (IM). 
While Instant Messaging is best known for its use by consumers, 
its vast untapped potential is in the enterprise business sector, 
where it has rapidly become a critical tool for business 
communications, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and 
business process integration. Companies have found that Instant
Messaging within their enterprises has saved them valuable time 
and money, and in crisis conditions has even proven to be more 
reliable and more effective than their e-mail systems. 

For information or complete details on exhibiting or any

Remember to sign up by February 21 to save $100.  Registration
