The Interactive Multimedia and Collaborative Communications Alliance (IMCCA; www.imcca.org) announced the collaborative conferencing industry will showcase its business at the InfoComm (www.infocomm.org) trade show to be held in Atlanta, June 5–11, 2004. Attendees to the show will have the opportunity to learn about the most recent advances in the conferencing industry through manufacturer product and service exhibits in the Collaborative Conferencing Pavilion and through a full-featured conference program. Additionally, InfoComm will be the site for the first annual meeting of the new Teleconferencing Users’ Group.
“InfoComm is a perfect venue for the IMCCA and the industry because it is the premier conference and trade show in the AV communications and systems integration business,” says Carol Zelkin, executive director of IMCCA. “Our members have provided tremendous support in making this showcase a viable and worthwhile event in an industry that is growing at an estimated rate of 36 percent a year.”
Collaborative Conferencing Technologies Pavilion
Sponsored by the IMCCA, vendor products and services will be exhibited on the show floor in an area dedicated to conferencing technology. From videoconferencing to audio conferencing to Webconferencing to telecommunications and conference-related products and services, including an IMCCA booth, InfoComm attendees will find technology solutions and providers. More than 35 exhibitors–including ACT Teleconferencing, Applied Global Technologies, Polycom, RadVision, Sony, Starbak, Tandberg, and VSGi–will be located in the pavilion.
Manufacturers will also have the opportunity to present their new product introductions, separate from their booth exhibits, in a special area within the pavilion. Designed with both the novice and experienced end-users in mind, these sessions will focus on the latest technology being offered in the collaborative conferencing marketplace.
Conference Program
In keeping with IMCCA’s mission of educating the marketplace on the benefits and applications of conferencing and collaborative technologies, a comprehensive conference program will be offered during the preshow and show dates.
Dr. S. Ann Earon, IMCCA chairwoman, says, “The need to learn, develop communication strategies, and address challenges has become paramount in today’s corporate, education, and government sectors. By attending InfoComm, technology managers and those interested in the field will have the opportunity to learn about the latest technology, talk with experts in the field, hear from end-users, and delve into relevant issues such as IP conferencing, selecting the right vendor, or designing a conferencing environment.”
