We did our biggest event ever at ISC West 2013 on Thursday April 11th.
You'll get intelligent conversation, networking and a chance to meet the IPVM team free from manufacturer sponsorships and pitches.
This event is ONLY open to IPVM PRO Members.
Here's our plan:
9 am - End User Only Meetup - The IPVM team will help end users to find the right products for their needs.
10 am - Panoramic Shootout Results Revealed - With a live system, we will show and explain who did the best and worst among Axis, Panasonic, Mobotix, Vivotek, Immervision, Sentry360 and more.
11:30 am - The Manufacturer Marketing / PR / Sales Meetup - A peace offering, we will host lunch, mingle and discuss ways to help manufacturers responsibly get the word out on their products.
1 pm - Trends in Access Control - Our first ever access control event will look at what's new and discuss how IPVM can improve access control information.
3:30 pm - The Death of VMS Servers Has Begun? - A debate on the futue of VMS systems as intelligent cameras, NASes and cloud services rise.
4:30 to 6pm - The Tech Meetup - Open to all engineers, product managers and IPVMU certified professionals, we will have drinks, discuss industry trends and what's new.
UPDATE: The event was a success. We will have reports covering the panoramic shootout, trends in access control and death of VMS servers in the next few weeks.
