Guest Blog by Daniel Schmierer, Middle East & Africa Area Sales VP

Gitex Technology Week will start this Sunday and we’re excited! The most talked about technology event in the Middle East is now in its 35th year and has grown to be one of the most influential tech events in the region with over 3,900 exhibitors from 144 countries. It really has become the platform for technology brands to launch and showcase the latest in tech and innovation. 

Taking place just over a week after celebrating our 25th year anniversary, we have some great new solutions and announcements debuting in the Middle East for the first time. This cannot come at a better time as a recent study points that the Middle East workforce is becoming more “Gen Mobile” in the sense that they strongly believe in mobile working regardless of time and location. I look forward to showing our customers how reliable and productive group collaboration can be.

If you happen to be attending Gitex this year, visit the Polycom booth at Zabeel Hall Booth: Z – G10 or follow the Polycom Europe Twitter handle to get live updates.
