BrightCom, a Huntington, Calif.-based provider of telepresence and video conferencing solutions, announced that its CEO, Bob McCandless, will present a session on how video conferencing and telepresence are affecting business communication.

During the session, McCandless will present factors driving the short-term and long-term adoption of video in enterprise operations, including the current state of the economy, public health and the growing need for improved communication for geographically dispersed businesses and organizations. McCandless will also explore the future of communication technology and how video conferencing, telepresence and other mediums of video communication will alter the way people interact from their office desktop to their living rooms.
 
In addition, the presentation will also explore how the concept of using video as a standard communication tool in the office is being adopted in homes, schools and public places.

This session will show how telepresence is becoming a standard in the enterprise world and will soon become a part of our every day lives.”
 
While video conferencing is not a new concept for business communication, using it as a constant medium for communication and surpassing the telephone, or e-mail is, McCandless said.
 
“This session is a great fit for businesses that understand the benefits of video conferencing, but want to know how to get the most value out of the technology,” McCandless said. “With newer and faster networks and external economic pressures such as the fluctuating economy, it is the right time to empower businesses with the idea that utilizing telepresence and video conferencing to minimize the challenges of phone, e-mail and in-person meetings can improve their company’s overall communication.”
