Avaya will be visiting the Dallas, Texas area on February 6th, 2013 to host Evolutions, an annual event to inspire business decision-makers, IT managers, and line-of-business end users.

At Evolutions, Avaya will make a donation to the Dallas Division of the American Heart Association (AHA). Throughout the event, Avaya will donate $1 per attendee and $1 per tweet up to $3,500.
