In just two weeks, CommsDay will be holding the tenth annual edition of its Melbourne Congress at the Langham Hotel (October 10/11)
I’ve put together what I hope you agree is a terrific expert-packed agenda for this year’s event.
OPERATORS: Headlining the event are C-suite speakers from telcos and DC operators such as NBN’s Dr Ziggy Switkowski, Telstra COO Robyn Denholm, Optus VP David Caspari, Vodafone director Ben McIntosh, Symbio CEO Rene Sugo, Wideband Networks CEO Philp Britt, NEXTDC COO Simon Cooper and Metronode MD Josh Griggs. We also have the global CEO of the world’s biggest Wi-Fi operator, iPass’ Gary Griffiths, joining our line-up.
POLICY & REGULATION: We also have a full complement of regulatory, political and policy perspectives. From the agency wing we have the ACCC’s Michael Cosgrave, ACMA’s James Cameron and the TIO’s Judi Jones. From the parliamentary arena, Victorian minister Philip Dalidakis, Federal NBN joint parliamentary standing committee chair Sussan Ley MP and shadow communications minister Michelle Rowland. Providing perspectives from industry and the consumer arena are Communications Alliance CEO John Stanton, AMTA CEO Chris Althaus and ACCAN CEO Teresa Corbin.
TECHNOLOGY: The Congress will also feature technology experts from worldwide leaders in telecom network supply: Netcomm Wireless, Cyient, Nokia, Cisco, Cradlepoint, Ruckus and Ciena. Learn what’s coming out of the labs and happening in the field.
The Congress will also feature the analysis and perspective of Professor Reg Coutts, Ovum’s David Kennedy, Bob James and Ian Martin.
All in all, two days of the sharpest telecommunications speaker line-up you will find in Melbourne this year.
Of course, there is also the benefit of not only hearing from industry leaders but meeting them. The Congress features two catered lunches, a cocktail session and several networking breaks. A fantastic opportunity to renew or establish industry contacts.
