Hacker Café
The Café is an unstructured environment in which impromptu “birds of a feather” (BOF) sessions can thrive. A wireless network and the relaxed company of your peers can foster a powerful mixture of ideas and people.

All ETel attendees are welcome to drop by the Hacker Café on Tuesday, January 24. Meet the frontline application alpha geeks and see one-on-one demonstrations of their work. If you've created (or are creating) something, here's a chance to meet people who would be valuable to brainstorm your ideas with, and perhaps find your first customers.

Exhibitor Reception
Location: Grand Ballroom Foyer
Time: 6:00PM - 7:30PM
Visit the ETel exhibitors and enjoy great refreshments at our Exhibitor Reception. Check out some of the innovative products and services from our sponsors in the emerging telephony space.
ETel Fair
Are you an entrepreneur, arts project, research group, or pre-funding startup in the web telephony space? Are you developing a piece of software that changes how people communicate? Do you have a gizmo that makes people go "wow!" Do you have a piece of infrastructure that's sorely needed by VoIP
application builders? Do you know someone like this? We want to hear from you!
Please drop us a note at
with a few details of how we can find these people and why you think they should be promoted. All ideas--business, advocacy, civil, or arts--will be considered, though space is limited and not all proposals can be accepted. It has to be cool. It has to be useful. It has to be from an underdog. (Funded startups and businesses looking for exposure at ETel should contact Andrew Calvo at andrewc@oreilly.com for details on sponsorship.) Exhibitors at the ETel Fair receive one table and a poster and will demo their creations to ETel attendees, press, and the world.
The innovators you will meet:

Location: Bayside II & III
Time: 7:30PM - 9:30PM
Often the most innovative uses for a technology aren't from the biggest players but from people outside the mainstream with real needs--the true garage inventors like Jobs and Wozniak who
make the markets. The ETel Fair showcases the below-the-radar excellence that heralds the future of VoIP and web telephony applications. There will also be some fun projects that will entertain and amuse but point to more serious futures.
There are currently no events scheduled for Thursday.
