It was a busy week for all of us at IfByPhone last week, but no one was busier than our CEO, Irv Shapiro.  We had a booth at Ad:Tech Chicago last week and were able to meet hundreds of interesting people.  Additionally, Irv gave a speech focusing on how our applications and technology relate to marketing and advertising campaigns in today’s landscape.

The people who stopped by the booth were amazed that we can instantly provision toll free numbers and that we have no setup fees.  Our Call Tracking, Click-to-call and trackable numbers are all available on demand, and sales and marketing people can watch campaign results in real time.  People aren’t used to dealing with a company as responsive as we are.

On Wednesday, Irv and some other people from IfByPhone had breakfast with some very interesting people involved with the Voice 2.0 industry.  It was great to meet people in person that we’ve only conversed with online like Thomas McCarthy Howe, Shai Berger from Fonolo, James Body from truphone, as well as Andy Abramson from Comunicano.   Not only are we making noise with a series of new product announcements recently, but the other companies are shaking things up as well.

Also there was David Dalka, a very smart guy from Chicago.  He is particularly in tune with Social Media and how it interacts with actual businesses.  You can check out his summary of the breakfast on his post “Irv Shapiro’s phone mashup speech.”
