c21-virtual was derived from EMP, which was launched in 2002, with the aim of developing and managing a niche portfolio of conferences and roundtable programmes, which analysed critical subject areas being given cursory attention on broader coverage programmes. Much of the focus was, and still is, on cutting edge communications solutions applied to the requirements of major corporate and government end-users. c21 has worked within both emerging and developed regional markets across five continents, including Africa, Asia, North and South America and Europe, more than 150 live events and more recently ... the Connected World Series of virtual conferences pursuing the same mission and objectives.
