The only conference you need to attend

With just under two months to go, The 2009 Canadian Telecom Summit is fast approaching.

Covering all segments of the Canadian telecommunications and IT industries, there is no event like it: only The Canadian Telecom Summit brings together the leaders of all constituencies - service providers, manufacturers, applications providers, policy makers and regulators.

You will hear both from returning and new-to-the-Summit global executives, including Canadian telecom/technology giants Mike Lazaridis, President & co-CEO of RIM and Nadir Mohamed, President & CEO of Rogers Communications.

As regulatory oversight of the industry turns to issues such as new media, next generation networks and net neutrality, the Chair of the CRTC, Konrad von Finckenstein, will address the Summit, to be followed by an expanded version of the always-popular Regulatory Blockbuster. In addition, we will have a special session examine the contentious issue of Net Neutrality, setting a tone for the upcoming CRTC hearings on ISP network management.

With the emergence of new wireless service providers following last year’s AWS spectrum auction, a session featuring the CEOs of three new entrants, Globalive Wireless, Public Mobile and DAVE, is a must-attend on Wednesday, June 17.

On Monday, June 15, we are featuring 6 panels that will focus in-depth on the topics of Unified Communications, New Media & Convergence, Database Mining, Mobile Evolution, Building Broadband Networks & Services, and Social Networking.

Delegates will join us for a special cocktail reception on June 15 sponsored by Microsoft, providing an unparalleled opportunity to network with your colleagues, suppliers and customers.
