This is going to be a great year for Infocomm, we can feel it. Not only will Vyopta be in Vegas, but there are going to be so many opportunities to learn from the best in the unified communications & collaboration industry. However, if you didn’t know, Infocomm is the largest A/V event in the world. Yes, it’s a blast, but it can be a bit “noisy” for video conferencing professionals. There are too many sessions to count and everyone is going to try and grab a little of your time.
We’ve been doing some heavy research for you. In this post you’ll find a list of sessions we’ve hand picked specifically for video conferencing professionals.
I know, I know. We’re so thoughtful.
