EVENT PROFILE: SATCON Satisfies... How many trade shows, conferences, and exhibitions do we attend each year? And how many of these events do we leave behind and, a couple of weeks later, all we can recall are our sore feet and the number of corn pads used to protect blossoming blisters? SATCON cannot guarantee you won’t still succumb to blisters — after all, there are hundreds of exhibitions to visit, and that does require a few thousands footfalls to “meet and greet” successfully.
SATCON is part of the trilogy of events that now comprise Content & Communications World, the others being HD World Conference & Exposition and the IPMedia Expo. The entire component brings attendees coverage of content creation, management, post-production, delivery, infrastructure, and a wide range of communications solutions, from satellite to fiber to hybrid networks, IP, mobile communications and more.
Breaking down the individual opportunities, SATCON — the Satellite and Content Delivery Conference & Expo assists you with strategy development for managing your communications infrastructure including video, data, voice, and Internet using hybrid networks including satellite, fiber, IP, mobile and wireless.
