Previous Summit Workshops included:
Workshops
The Next Generation Telecom Summit Workshops will be conducted by leading analysts, vendors and CTOs from the service providers. They will be interactive sessions allowing executives to gain an education on today’s most pressing issues. Thought leadership is their purpose. They will give the CTO/CIO'S the opportunity to have intimate discussions, debates and appraise the upcoming challenges. Vendor companies are not permitted to give product pitches.
Outline of Workshops
The workshops will consist of a presentation to around 15-20 CTO/CIO’s with an issue that is relevant and educational to all attendees. The topics will be chosen by the operator committee. The presentation will be around 40 minutes long, with a Q&A session after the presentation is over to give the attendees an opportunity to create dialogue between the attendees, their peers and the analys.
Programme
The programme has been created from our discussions with senior management from telecom operators across EMEA. These are the critical challenges they face and require answers for.
The NGT Summit will incorporate your ideas into the framework for discussion –generating a tailored event to suit your needs.
