smart x central intelligence and Technews Publishing will join forces again to host an inaugural technology conference in Windhoek, Namibia next month.
The conference, due to be held on 17 September 2008, at the Windhoek Country Club, is intended to forge firm business relations between the two countries with companies working in the smart technology sector. This will be the forerunner to an annual event across the border, bringing technology updates and providing informative and educational topics to the Namibian public.
Both parties have extensive knowledge of the whole spectrum of smart technology, from smartcards to RFID and all peripheral technologies, having worked in complementary spheres of the industry. By recognising the need for a conference such as this in a neighbouring country, and jointly hosting an annual event, they aim to provide delegates with an holistic view of South African technology developments, applications and best practice advice for adoption in the future.
Smart x central intelligence operates within an international network of professional associations concerned with smart technologies, and is the only professional association for the industry covering southern Africa. Smart x membership is represented by private and public sector end-users, solutions providers and consultants with members in the major business centres of the country. The aim of smart x is to make its members aware of the developments taking place in the industry both in South Africa and internationally.
Technews is the publisher of Hi-Tech Security Solutions, South Africa’s leading security publication addressing the security information needs of installers, systems integrators, consultants and specifiers who design and install security solutions; as well as end-users throughout South Africa.
“We are aiming to provide an informative, productive conference aimed at businesses that currently work with or have a need for a smart technology solution,” says Carol Willis, general manager of smart x central intelligence. “The partnership with Technews Publishing worked exceptionally well with the BiometriX conference, and we recognise the strength in marrying our expertise once again to bring a quality event to Namibia, which is long overdue.”
Presentations will be made by respected industry leaders that will share their expertise and industry knowledge with the audience.
The cost per delegate of the conference, refreshments, lunch and the delegate pack is R850 (excl VAT).
