With names like PCCW Global, Telekom Malaysia Berhad, Rogers Cable Communications, Orange, and Bharti Airtel, together in Kuala Lumpur, fastest growing metropolitan region in the Malaysia, in terms of population as well as economy and one of the global telecom and technology hubs from the Middle East through Asia, good business will abound. Capacity Media Asia also boasts Deutsche Telecom, Telecom Italia Sparkle, Global Crossing, Hutchinson Global Communications, Telecom Egypt, Verizon Business and Zoha Kish Communications as sponsors. Scheduled this week November 4-5, 2009, readers have time to schedule flight and hotel now. (It is Nov. 2, 2009 Monday 7:47 PM, and I am checking Delta connections now. I have plenty of SkyMiles from a whirlwind schedule of 39 conferences in a 24 month period.)

At DIDX and Techistan headquarters we have been focusing on conferences in the Americas and Europe for the past five years or so, but more and more we are scheduling Asia, Africa, the Pacific and Middle East with shows in Singapore like CommunicAsia, PTC, ITCN Asia, Softec, tradeshows in Kenya and South Africa, Gitex, and ICT Expo Indonesia. A majority of new wholesale DIDX seller members are from this region and the a large majority of the new wholesale buyer members are from this region. The latter are also requiring more direct inward dialing from the EMEA and APEC regions.
