This “action packed” 2 day event will include numerous detailed industry “best practices” educational sessions and exceptional “how to” advice that you can put into practice immediately to positively impact your bottom line!

Vertical Communications will be joining us as our Platinum Sponsor, along with several other of our Alliance Partners.  This will also be the culmination of Round 2 of our Peer Groups.  Each group will have the opportunity to present the knowledge that they have gleaned over the past 6 months, and each member will have the opportunity to use this knowledge in the future in their own businesses.  Not to mention, all present Peer Group members have the chance to win a Kindle Fire.  You don’t want to miss this event!

You don’t have to be involved in a Peer Group to gain from this event!  Come take away “first-hand experience” information that will build your business and then join Round 3 of our Peer Groups!  See you there!

The presentation topic was based on a 6 month program on the “Power of Bundling” in the telecom VAR market. Each member was awarded a new iPad2 for their amazing efforts and outstanding presentation. Voting was by all peers at the event this week. Again, congratulations to this Peer Group and we look forward to the next Peer Groups coming up in 6 months.

“There is no other group in the country that comes close to delivery real life daily value to their members in the telecom space. I have either been a member of or known personal friends in every telecom group out there and at the end of the day, nothing comes close to the value given and received daily by the member to member concept at NextGen. The unique giver’s gain mentality shows through in everything that happens inside of NextGen, something unique to the group” – David Roberts, Ascend Technologies, Inc.

About nexVortex:

nexVortex is a leader in IP-based communication services. Our specialty is SIP Trunking.

Our Vision is a Universal IP- based Global Communications Infrastructure that allows all endpoints, wired or wireless,  to connect any media  (voice, video, web and text) to one another.

Our Mission and passion is to provide all businesses, independent of size, with the IP knowledge, services, and capabilities that they can deploy to improve their business communications—easily and affordably!

The company was established in 2002,  when the concept of SIP Trunking existed on paper and was discussed primarily in industry technical forums. Regardless, we understood that it represented the future of business communications and it was with this understanding that nexVortex was built. We entered as a pioneer and are now regarded a leader in the deployment of SIP Trunking technology.

Over the years we have remained true to our vision. We commercially launched our SIP Trunking service for small business in 2005, and today, we service thousands of small and medium sized businesses across the United States. Our success has been due to our keen and deep understanding of SIP technology and establishing strong partnerships with equipment manufacturers and channel partners. Most of all, our driving pursuit to be the best provider of SIP Trunking is focused on serving our customers and offering them the best possible business experience.
