Professionals in the fields of data and voice communications from the Caribbean and Latin America will gather at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan Wednesday, November 14 through Friday, November 16. They will network with colleagues and vendors at CaribeCom, an exhibition now in its 19th year that is described by its organizers as a "communications-technology supermarket" for the region.
The CaribeCom exhibition will take place from 5:00 to 9:00 PM on the 14th, 15th, and 16th, in a hall that will house nearly 100 communications-industry vendors. Exhibiting companies provide products and services that are used in communications networks-ranging from wire and cable to system-installation and mobile-communications services. Attendees can use the evening receptions as an opportunity to receive up-to-date technology news, advice, and solutions. Networking receptions will be held from 5:00 to 7:30 PM the same three evenings.
Historically, the event has drawn a diverse group of communications professionals who are involved in the design, installation, and implementation of public and private networks. Many attendees are engineers, local area network administrators, information-technology managers, and network consultants. They work for organizations including commercial enterprises, government entities and communications providers.
CaribeCom is organized and hosted by PennWell (www.pennwell.com), an information company that produces conferences and exhibitions, periodicals and other learning tools for professionals in high-technology industries.
The 19th year of the CaribeCom exhibition will be the first year it is held in conjunction with a conference produced by BICSI (www.bicsi.org), a telecommunications association. BICSI will hold its conference November 14 and 15, also at the Caribe Hilton. Topics that will be covered during the conference include cabling-standards updates, communications technologies such as Voice over IP, fiber optics, and wireless networking.
