Burlington, MASSACHUSETTS, August 30, 2006 – groupSPARK, the #1 Private Label Exchange Hosting provider, today announced their plans for upcoming conferences in the fall of 2006.  groupSPARK has decided to build on the momentum from their summer conferences and has plans to attend three more shows through the rest of 2006.

After the success of both the Microsoft World Wide Partner Conference and HostingCon, both in July, they have added the Hosting Transformation Summit, the ITExpo, and ISPCon to their 2006 conference plans.

The Hosting Transformation Summit takes place in Las Vegas, NV Sept 18-20 which draws in executives from all across the industry to network and discuss the future of the market.  Ravi Agarwal, groupSPARK’s CEO, will be speaking on a panel on hosting software as a service and the challenges that the industry will see in the future.

groupSPARK will also be attending the Internet Telephony Expo in San Diego, CA Oct 10-13.  The ITExpo is the largest west coast conference on IP communications.  Show exhibitors can expect to see around 9,000 people coming through the doors.  Ravi Agarwal, groupSPARK’s CEO said “This is a new direction for groupSPARK.  We get questions all the time from companies in the IP communications market segment and while the industry is still very new, we feel that this will be a big part of our plans in the future.”

groupSPARK will be attending their third ISPCon in Santa Clara, CA Nov 7-9.  ISPCon has been a very good fit for groupSPARK in the past and their attendance at another one demonstrates how important the show is to their continuing efforts with the internet service provider market place.  The difference between this ISPCon and the previous ones is that groupSPARK’s CEO Ravi Agarwal will have a speaking engagement during the conference on the topic of Hosting Reliable and Profitable Exchange Services.
