Telco 2.0 Research/Event agendas H1 2011
STL Partners, the analyst firm behind the Telco 2.0 and Digital Entertainment 2.0 Initiatives, is expanding the scope of its research and events agendas over the next 6 months to cover key strategic topics in greater depth and help foster richer dialogue between telecoms and other industries who increasingly rely on their infrastructure.
As well as new analysis available via our reports and subscription research service, we will be running Executive Brainstorms using our ‘Mindshare’ interactive process in San Francisco (5-6 April), London (10-11 May) and Singapore (22-23 June). The draft agenda for these is described below. We’ll be fine tuning these in consultation with our community over the next few weeks. (Please mail us any thoughts here).
In the meantime, a key date for your diary is our FREE ‘virtual’ event - Best Practice Live! -on 2-3 February (registration opens this Friday).
