CIX Conferencing created one of the first real online communities. There may now be a plethora of on line discussion sites but few if any have been able to create the sense of warmth that exists within the CIX Conferencing community. Many have been members for many years and strong friendships have been formed - some have even married. For the last 10 years there has been an annual BBQ. These events once run by CIX Conferencing are now run by the members. Amongst CIX Conferencing are some of the best arguers in the world. Drop in and seek them out. Some of them know what they are talking about, some shoot from the hip but if you like banter sharpen your lexicon and come on in. Not every contributor is an expert and nor is every area of learning by any means covered but there are some extremely knowledgeable and experienced people to consult. Probably the greatest single area of gathered expertise is on IT and telecoms because many members are self employed IT and telecom contractors.

As well as participating in conferences open to all members users can start their own private discussion forums for a small group of friends or family. This is a great way of keeping in touch with friends, family and colleagues in a modern world where work and life style choice often put huge physical distance between school friends, siblings and parents. Each CIX account provides the user with the tools to set up and moderate their own conferences without recourse to us the provider. CIX Conferencing can claim to be the birth place of a number of successful businesses and well before eBay was even conceived small businesses were using conferencing to trade goods and services. This is not so much the case today but Conferencing can still be put to good effect by business. CIX Conferencing can help you in business as a source of advice or as project management tool. Large companies and organisations have adopted CIX Conferencing for internal communications particularly when the participants are spread across a wide area.
