South Africa's specialist industrial data communication company, Industrial Automation & Control (IAC), a subsidiary of the Communica Group, will be hosting a technology conference: 'Technology Infrastructure to 2010 and Beyond' from 8-10 October. The conference, to be held at St George Hotel in Centurion, will highlight upcoming technical advances and their application.
"With the 2010 Soccer World Cup fast approaching, there are many areas in which state-of-the-art communications and security technologies will be needed," says Burg van der Westhuizen, CEO of IAC. "IAC has attracted the highest quality speakers who will clearly define which technologies hold the potential to be successfully installed in business over the next few years.
