Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
David Danto has been Principal Consultant – AV / Collaboration / Multimedia / Telepresence / Video, at Dimension Data for the past five years and when he is NOT doing his day job he becomes a Caped Crusader and does even more of a day job, often well into the night – rescuing and advising those in IP / AV peril and sharing his knowledge with all who ask.
David is our kind of guy, quick to share his knowledge with others, keen to help the industry grow and not afraid to put his head on the block and go out of his way and make things happen.
For the last ten years he has personally been organising networking events for Corporate & Academia Multimedia Professionals of New York (CAMP-NY). These are typically held quarterly, where one-third end users, one-third manufacturers and one-third VARs get together for drinks and dinner in Manhattan. The events are always private – invite only, and typically have anywhere between 15 to 45 attendees per dinner. It has no sponsors (attendees at these networking events always pay their own way) which helps that EVERY subject is fair-game and attendees end up spending about three hours chatting about what’s going on in their side of the technology world.
During New York Digital Signage Week CAMP-NY is holding an invite only cocktail party in Manhattan to celebrate those ten years of networking.
David has already invited back a group of past attendees to reminisce – cheering about what was terrific in the industry and commiserating about what wasn’t, but this is a pretty exclusive event. If this sounds of interest to you then contact ddanto@imcca.org.
