SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "It gave me a vision I wouldn't otherwise see," says Jason Shapiro, President of Xponent Resources whose Atlanta-based company provides telecom procurement solutions to area businesses.

That's how one telecom industry participant viewed the bottom line benefits he received by attending last year's PlanetOne All Star Event held in Atlanta – and why he's planning to attend this year's session, too.

PlanetOne is one of the largest master telecom agencies in the country, with plans to host its second area road show at the W Atlanta Perimeter Hotel on Wednesday, March 24. It is free to attend, and open to all telecom agents eager to network and learn from C-level business leaders in the fast paced world of telecom.

"Atlanta is a market phenom in the telecom world," according to Ted Schuman, founder and CEO of PlanetOne in Scottsdale. "We're excited to return with our day long industry event because the agent community is always really supportive and involved. They really get it."

Get it, indeed.

This year's event features a keynote address by Boland T. Jones, founder, chairman and CEO of Premiere Global Telecom. Also headquartered in Atlanta, PGI is the largest industry player in the "collaborative" telecom space, specializing in conference calling services and web-based meetings among their Fortune 500 client roster.

Other vendors scheduled for the PlanetOne All Star Tour line up include Paetec, XO Communications, Global Crossing, Level(3) and more.

The 2010 All Star Telecom Tour is designed as a social, educational and networking event bringing the best and brightest telecom agents together with top tier providers to learn from each other in a one-on-one fast track.

"There are top agents around the country that simply can't get away to attend major telecom trade shows throughout the year," Schuman added. "So we bring the vendors to their front door. It's a tremendous opportunity to meet the sales teams that support PlanetOne, and to develop direct carrier relationships."

Cash and prizes are also awarded to attendees, courtesy of PlanetOne, and a complimentary lunch is included. To register for this free event, click www.PlanetOne.net.
