Description:
ISPA and the ZACR are very pleased to announce that the 13th iWeek annual Internet industry conference will be held at the Indaba Hotel in northern Johannesburg from 17-19 September 2014.
iWeek is South Africa’s leading annual Internet industry conference, and has been held each year since 2001.
iWeek brings together all of South Africa’s major Internet organisations for a series of presentations, workshops, training programs and social events. The event partners for 2014 are:
The Internet Service Providers’ Association (ISPA)
The Wireless Access Providers’ Association (WAPA)
The ZA Central Registry (ZACR)
The ZA Domain Name Authority (ZADNA)
Each year, iWeek covers a number of topics of relevance to the South African Internet industry, including:
Communications / Internet policy and regulation in South Africa
Trends in fixed line and wireless Internet services
Global Internet governance developments
Domain name developments (globally and for .ZA)
Internet exchange points
Cyber-security
Combating spam
ISP best practices
Internet industry trends
This year’s event adds a strong focus on training and workshops, with at least four different training sessions running in parallel to the plenary events for the duration of the conference. Training is targeted at technical and legal staff as well as business managers of Internet organisations. Please remember that space is limited so register promptly.
Both ISPA and WAPA hold their Annual General Meetings as part of iWeek, attracting members of both organisations to the event. The major participants at iWeek each year are ISP and WISP representatives, managers and business owners. In addition, iWeek also attracts a broad selection of Internet governance stakeholders, including hardware vendors, representatives from non-profit organisations working in the Internet space, and important government representatives.
iWeek offers a unique opportunity for equipment vendors, wholesale Internet service providers, and providers of ISP support services to meet with representatives from Internet companies. There are a number of sponsorship opportunities available to either put you on the map or to position your organisation as an active player in the Internet industry. As well as a selection of general event sponsorship opportunities, iWeek has a number of cost-effective tables available at the conference venue for the duration of the event.
As always, attendance at iWeek is entirely free. If you can’t personally make it this year, please consider sending one of your staff members to represent your company and make the most of this opportunity to network with folks from the ISP industry.
