Overview
"85% of senior execs said the current telco business model will no longer deliver growth." Telco 2.0 Survey, November 2008
Part of the Telco 2.0™ Initiative, the Telco 2.0™ Executive Brainstorm series helps players in the Telecoms, Media and Technology sector investigate new business models at the intersection of content, communications, connectivity and commerce.
The brainstorms are run every 6 months (Spring and Autumn) in Europe. We will be launching an APAC event in 2010. They are large-scale interactive problem-solving events for up to 300 international executives, designed and facilitated by senior industry consultants from STL Partners, using its unique 'Mindshare™' process.
They incorporate new research and real-time market analysis to stimulate new ideas around: End-User needs, Service Portfolios, and Technology requirements.
They are supported by an advisory board made up of senior representatives from across the value chain - leading practitioners from investment banks, VC's, incumbent operators (fixed, mobile, cablecos, ISPs), internet players, media owners, disruptive start-ups, research labs, government bodies, vendors, consultancies, and regulators.
The first Telco 2.0™ Executive Brainstorm was held in London on 4-5 October 2006, with representatives from 42 different Operators and Service Providers and 35 partner and investor organisations. We are continually improving the format and, as a result, the event has grown in size and stature.
The next (EMEA) event is on 4-5 November 2009 in London, UK.
The next (Americas) event is on 9-10 December 2009 in Orlando, USA.
