IPVM Live Labs vs. IPVM Conference

IPVM Live Labs will replace IPVM's Conference. Attendees told us the most valuable part of the Conference generally was the hands-on product portion where IPVM experts gave direct answers and advice on various systems we have tested side by side. The most difficult part for us was staging, transporting, and setting up equipment to an off-site location. Live Labs facilitates us doing even more custom testing on more equipment in more scenarios to make it even more valuable for attendees.

Lodging and Transportation Recommendations

IPVM's Research Facility is located in Bethlehem PA, a ~1.5-hour drive from NYC and Philadelphia as well as the Newark Liberty and Philadelphia International airports.
