ATLANTA, Feb. 25, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Convey Services today announced that Paul Berberian, CEO of Sphero, will be a featured speaker in the upcoming Cloud Conventions Virtual Expo 2016 for the telecom and cloud industries. Berberian will share how his company, Sphero, brought the BB-8™ Droid robot to life in this “Fireside Chat” moderated by Carolyn Bradfield, CEO of Convey Services. The discussion will be available online March 9th beginning at noon EST.
Paul Berberian, an experienced chief executive and entrepreneur, has founded and run a number of high-tech companies over the past 18 years, including two successful ventures in conferencing and collaboration. His firm, Sphero, was selected by Disney to build the BB-8™ Droid, the newest character in the latest Star Wars film, “The Force Awakens.”
Cloud Conventions will feature eleven live sessions on March 9th and 10th. Individual speakers and panel groups are lead by experts discussing topics designed to help revenue producers better understand industry trends, strategies to increase income, and the latest product innovations. The agenda includes “Tips & Tricks for ‘Socializing’ your Social Media,” by Jenny Ruttman of XO Communications; “How to Build a Successful UCaaS Practice,” a panel discussion hosted by Shaun Chambers and William Rubio of CallTower; “Successful Growth Through Acquisitions,” featuring Don Hutchins, President/COO of Fusion; along with “5 Secrets to Becoming a Rock Star Sales Partner,” featuring Alan Mushlin of Telecom Consulting Group, Karin Fields of Microcorp and Curt Allen of X4 Solutions.

“Paul is one of the most successful entrepreneurs I’ve met, with a track record in both B2B technology sales, as well as consumer-focused business,” said Carolyn Bradfield, CEO of Convey. “After being selected by Disney to design and launch the consumer version of the BB-8™ Droid in only 10 months, Paul and his team at Sphero became a part of the Star Wars phenomenon.
