Working Group Charter

The primary goal of the Marketing Working Group is to promote the advancement of the SIP products and services industry by creating and managing the outbound communications about the SIP Forum and the industry, as well as create and manage the internal communications from the SIP Forum to its members. In conjunction with these activities, the Marketing Working Group will manage trade show activities and speaking opportunities, handle public relations, coordinate membership drives, directly or indirectly acquire and provide market research relevant to members, and create (or assist creating) print and electronic publications on current relevant industry and technical topics. The Marketing Working Group will use both member volunteers and outside consultants to accomplish these goals.
