The latest telepresence proposals at ISE 2010

Interactive Multimedia Collaborative Communications Alliance with the collaboration of companies such as LifeSise, Tandberg, HaiVision, Revolabs and Konftel will organize live demonstrations of the most advanced telepresence solutions at ISE 2010.

IMCCA, Interactive Multimedia Collaborative Communications Alliance, in collaboration with LifeSise, Tandberg, HaiVision, Revolabs and Konftel will launch a space at ISE 2010 dedicated to live demonstration of the latest news and solutions in telepresence.

An important aspect will be the organization by IMCCA of two debate sessions in the RAI Auditorium that will take place on February 2. ISE Theater on the morning of Tuesday, February 2. The first session, starting at 11am, is titled "The Convergence of IT/AV. Yes, you really need to work together, and will feature speakers from BT Conferencing, LifeSize, Polycom and Tandberg. The second session at 12pm will be the possibilities of HD telepresence and new next-generation technologies. Both sessions will be free to access for ISE 2010 visitors.

HaiVision, Revolabs and Konftel are among the other exhibitors to be found at the Pavilion, and free end-user membership of the IMCCA (the Interactive Multimedia Collaborative Communications Alliance) is available to ISE visitors if they stop by the Association booth, which is also located at the Pavilion.

In addition to its Pavilion activities, the IMCCA is also hosting two free discussion-panel sessions in the ISE Theatre on the morning of Tuesday, 2 February. The first, starting at 11.00am, is titled ‘The Convergence of IT & AV – Yes, You Really Need to Work Together’, and will feature speakers from BT Conferencing, LifeSize, Polycom and Tandberg. The session will address issues of importance to working an environment where both IT and AV are important – in other words, how to work together in most rooms these days!

The second session, starting at 12.00pm, will feature the same panel and is titled ‘What’s Next For HD & Telepresence’. This session will examine the realities of telepresence and HD today and where the technology is heading, including the key issues facing telepresence deployments and some of the next-generation technologies addressing them.

Both sessions will be valuable not just for AV integrators but also for IT architects, business managers and facilities administrators. And while the sessions will be free to attend, delegates are advised to arrive at the ISE Theatre early to be sure of a seat.

The United Collaborative Conferencing Pavilion will be located at the rear of Hall 4 at ISE 2010, with the IMCCA booth on Stand 4Q72. The ISE Theatre will be located at the rear of Hall 10. For more information on the IMCCA, visit: www.imcca.org
