The Interactive Multimedia & Collaborative Communications Alliance (IMCCA) will be hosting the Multi-Media Conferencing pavilion. This is your opportunity to see and learn about technologies for implementing video, audio and data/web conferencing solutions, related accessories, supplies and the newest technologies in videoconferencing. Leading suppliers will be showcasing their products within a special exhibition area.

IMCCA will host a series of seminars covering the following topics: Global Managed Services (The value of using an outside provider to manage technology within an organization versus properly staffing the internal organization to meet the needs of users.), HD & Telepresence (How these technologies differ from traditional videoconferencing and for what types of meetings an organization uses high definition and telepresence technologies), Web Conferencing versus Video Conferencing (What are the advantages and disadvantages of each for an organization?), ISDN to IP (How can an organization successfully migrate from one type of network to another? What are the pros and cons of ISDN versus IP technology? What does the future hold?), and the Integration of Conferencing in the AV Environment (What are the differences in lighting, sound, and room layout when conferencing is integrated into an AV environment? How can an organization be successful with a room used for multiple types of meetings?) Seminar attendees will hear from experienced users, vendors, and consultants who share their expertise in deploying all types of conferencing and collaborative communications technologies.
