Rarely are Cisco partner events quite as spectacular as MeetingZone's 'Spark the Future' collaboration event. The venue was the 72nd floor of the Shard building in London. At over 300 metres the Shard is Western Europe's tallest building and provided breathtaking panoramic views of the capital.

MeetingZone's guests, which included over 100 customers, were treated to some fantastic London weather which made the event especially unique. The main purpose of the event was to enable MeetingZone and one of their largest collaboration and conferencing partners, Cisco, to showcase some of their latest solutions and provide insights into the best ways to deploy and utilise the technologies.
Special guest was Cisco's Snorre Kjesbu who is Vice President & General Manager for the TelePresence and IP-Phone Business Unit. Snorre conducted a fascinating keynote speech with interactive product demos of some of Cisco's latest hardware and software solutions. There were also sneak peeks at future developments that are yet to be released, including use of AI to enhance conferencing experiences. Snorre also delved deeper into the development of AI as an emerging technology and postulated that we are only in the most primitive stage of it's development.
