About CONVERGENCE
CONVERGENCE magazine was launched in January 2000 at the suggestion of the newsletter Le Lien MULTIMÉDIA, published to its subscribers since 1994, and remains today the only magazine in Quebec dedicated exclusively to digital and technological culture here and elsewhere. It is produced without any government support and survives solely thanks to the support of its advertisers, subscribers and partners, to whom we sincerely thank.
