As we have done for over 17 years, CETW is dedicated to providing the most valuable face-to-face experience that we can for our attendees, exhibitors and other stakeholders. It is critical that we concentrate on and understand how they prefer to engage with customers, service providers and other industry professionals.

With continued year-on-year growth of registrants, our attendees have demonstrated a preference for CETW to be held annually in the fall. It is with that in mind that we have made the decision to focus exclusively on CETW New York in 2013.

Taking place Nov. 6-7, 2013 in New York City, the thousands of technology, communications and business professionals attending CETW’s spring and fall conferences will now experience the innovation, idea generation and collaboration synonymous with the shows at one convenient event.

We believe that we owe it to the thousands of brand marketers, agencies, digital-out-of-home networks, integrators and resellers that have made CETW their preferred destination to take action based on their needs.

As always, we remain committed to providing the best experience we can, from networking and sales opportunities, to education and creative design and development forums that showcase the use of technology in the customer engagement process

Our decision to shift from two shows to one was not based on location, but what our attendee feedback and show data told us. The fall show in New York City has consistently demonstrated year-over-year registrant growth and we believe cultivating that growth creates the best possible opportunity to deliver the highest quality and highest value show for our attendees.

We firmly believe our decision to concentrate our year-round efforts on our fall show in New York City helps us continue to deliver on our commitment to our attendees, and hope that everyone will join us at CETW 2013 in New York City!
