Africa Radio Comms Conference 2013
DATE: 26, 27 & 28 November 2013
VENUE: Midrand Conference Centre, Gauteng, South Africa
The conference has been developed to promote best practice in this area, and will have users, dealers and radio industry professionals attending.
This inaugural Africa Radio Comms Conference will chart the future for mobile and radio technology in South Africa, and IDC Technologies is calling for abstracts from users, experts and professionals outlining their particular angle.
Delegates attending will discover how mobile radio is used in utilities, transport, mining and public safety and how digital technology is shaping the future of radio communications. The sector is wide, encompassing training and education, networks and infrastructure, spectrum planning, digital radio and LTE - all of which will be covered.
Delegates will leave better informed on the choices that are available when installing, upgrading or researching a radio system for their organisations and users. More than 16 papers and workshops will be presented throughout the 3-day event, including those by keynote speakers. Case studies and technology-focused sessions will be offered by both local and international experts.
During this time of accelerating technological change and with a range of complex challenges facing industry, the Africa Radio Comms Conference offers delegates and presenters the opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding and to become better prepared for a future in this networking environment.
Join your peers in a vigorous and positive exchange of views, build your career and public profile, and make a contribution to this competitive and thriving market segment in South Africa.
IDC Technologies conferences facilitate the presentation of practical applications and solutions, and showcase technological skills through the use of practical case studies, applications and the newest developments in this focus area. The conference does not simply provide speakers a platform from which to "sell" their products, however sponsorship opportunities are available.
