The Miro 2011 IP Convergence Conference, SA's first convergence conference held earlier this month in Midrand, has been met with enthusiastic praise from exhibitors and attendees.

The conference was a one day event to inform industry delegates about new financial opportunities and creative solutions made possible by the convergence of technologies such as audio, video and the internet. It featured an exhibition area with stands by local as well as international manufacturers and service providers.  Most of these exhibits were fully interactive, the client could touch the products, as well as see how the products worked in real-life situations, thanks to the live-demos on these stands.

The conference had three basic themes, Wireless, VoIP and IP Video. Each of these sections delivered the latest industry news, a product overview and highlighted the opportunities made possible by these technologies through case studies on how these technologies can be implemented.  

“Not only were the speakers interesting and the topics relevant to the IP industry, but your conference was impressive and a huge success for all who attended. I believe those in the industry, who did not attend, have missed out,” commented one attendee, Andrew Lange.
