INCOMPAS, an association representing internet and telecommunications companies, will merge its spring and fall trade shows into a single event starting in 2018.

The combined INCOMPAS Show will be held in the fall, the association announced Monday. In addition, the group will expand the annual INCOMPAS Policy Summit in Washington, D.C., to include educational sessions and other elements from the Spring INCOMPAS Show.

"By hosting our annual trade show each Fall in San Francisco, and enhancing the educational content at the Spring Policy Summit, we are giving our members, as well as their partners, customers and prospects, the chance to optimize their time, as well as marketing and travel budgets," INCOMPAS CEO Chip Pickering said.

This year's fall show is scheduled to take place Oct. 15-17 at the Marriott Marquis hotel in San Francisco. http://bit.ly/2uWbk7r
