Ditto what Lelio said. One thing I've noticed also with Networkers is about half of the telephony sessions are almost identical to the previous year's.. As long as I'm lucky enough to have work sending me to one of them I think i'm going to alternate which one I attend each year myself to try and get the best of both.<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I've gone to both - it's difficult to decide which
is better. Networkers by far has a greater variety of presentation topics, so if
you where a networking hat as well as telephony hat, you might like it better.
CIPTUG is more user driven, so many of the presentations are from users. That
being said, calibre of presentations may not be what you are used to. Networkers
presentations go through the grind a few times and are usually honed for time,
audience, content, etc. But user presentations can sometimes be spot on what you
are looking for. Very real world examples here, and the truth will come out
whether they were successful or not and what you need to do to get it to work.
The smaller scale also makes things very collegial. You'll know about 10% of the
attendees by their first name by the end of the thing.</font></div>
