Company History
ACT Conferencing was founded in 1989 in Golden, Colorado. The company's mission
was to provide a full range of products and services to meet the growing demand
for conferencing worldwide. This goal was quickly realized as ACT grew rapidly
throughout the North American, European and Asian Pacific markets. Today, ACT
has offices in nine countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany,
Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the
United States.
Employing close to 350 people around the world, ACT continues to expand its
global presence and service offerings as businesses rely on this powerful and
ecologically friendly technology to keep them connected at a fraction of
traditional meeting costs.
ACT operates in three regions worldwide: North America; Europe, Middle East and
Asia; and Asia Pacific. We support customers in these regions through
operational, sales and administrative teams located in the above countries.
In 2002, ACT acquired Proximity, Inc., which is now our video suite rental
division. ACT has remained an independently operated company since its
inception.
Over the years, ACT has been recognized for excellent customer service, superior
conferencing products and services and outstanding innovation and growth:
