The demise of Pulvermedia and the resignation of their chairman Jeff Pulver, father of VON conferences, are a big KO for the whole VoIP market.
The biggest short-term problem I see here is all about communication between Pulvermedia and all the players, sponsors, delegates involved with VON conferences. The VoIP market is now taking decisions mainly based on “rumors” and not official news. Pulvermedia website is up and running and if you go to http://www.von.com everything seems like it has always been, but you cannot subscribe to the upcoming VON conference in Amsterdam.
My take is that no more VON conferences will take place in the next months, at least for this year. I hope things will be sorted out soon and VON can survive to this unexpected nightmare. I’m getting emails from people in the VOIP market asking If I had reliable news about VON and if there are other interesting conferences about VOIP somewhere. To me, this is a very bad sign… many companies have lost an important datum point and they deserve a clear and official response.
I can understand that Jeff Pulver, Carl Ford and all the other people involved with Pulvermedia cannot say anything officially, but I do believe that the VOIP market deserves an official response by someone.
