In a crowded schedule there are a few events in Q1 that Telco 2.0 are involved with to varying degrees and which we’d recommend to our readers. They address one or more of our 7 key focus areas for 2008: Market Valuations, Disruptive Threats, Adjacent Markets, Two-Sided Business Models, Core Products and End-User Needs, and Regulation:
1.) The 3rd annual Telecom Finance and Emerging Markets Summit (Renaissance Chancery Court Hotel, London, January 23-25) is an interesting conference and awards event that brings together operator organisations with senior TMT financiers, private equity and venture capital firms, legal counsel, and other professional intermediaries in the sector. This year it will repeat its popular M&A panel to debate the impact of the credit crunch and identify which geographies and technologies will see most growth. Find out more or register here.
2.) The inaugural eComm 2008 (Computer History Museum, March 12-14, Mountain View, California) is run by the most fervent group of communications enthusiasts you are ever likely to meet. It mixes up visionaries, emergent technologies, real-world startups, cutting-edge academic projects, incumbent telecom players, garage based hacks and policy debates to create “the ultimate three-day conversation”. 60+ diverse speakers from companies such as BT, FlickR, Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, OpenMoko, Orange, Twitter, Skype, and Yahoo! …and Telco 2.0 (presenting the results of our major market study on new business models).
