The venue for the 14th annual Axis Connect & Converge Conference (ACCC) was symbolic of the theme conveyed by host Axis Communications throughout the two full days of the meeting. Held outside of Austin, Texas, at the vast 400-acre Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa along the banks of the Colorado River, the concept of openness was not hard to visualize, both literally and figuratively.
“When you think about disruption and innovation, you think about technology. I think the biggest disruptors can be summarized in two words. The first word is open. At Axis we have a DNA which is always open. In this context, let’s talk about partnerships. We’re open to working together for greater common vision. We’re also open about what we are going to do in the future. We share information, like roadmaps,” said Axis Communications founder Martin Gren, who also serves as director of new projects, during the conference keynote on Oct. 22.
