Emerging Communications (eComm) 2009 March 3, 2009

What is eComm?
-----------------------
The world's leading-edge telecom, Internet communications and mobile innovation event built to both showcase and accelerate innovation; and to explore radical new opportunities - together.

Why eComm?
-------------------
Cataclysmic change is facing the multi-trillion dollar a year telecom industry:

* Telecom is becoming software
* The cash cows of telephony and SMS will dry up long term
* “Phones” are turning into general purpose computers
* A march is underway to change how spectrum is allocated and utilized
* Applications innovation is being democratized
* The media industry is converging with personal communications
* Internet-style ecosystems are starting to pressurize the traditional value chain
* Search engines and computer manufactures are encroaching into the space
* The telecom kingdom is fragmenting daily.

It means unprecedented opportunity for those ahead-of-the-curve.

The debut 08 conference broke a lot of new ground and created a revitalized forum attracting 300 people and 80 speakers from 15 countries. 09 promises to build upon that foundation to create the only forum dedicated to defining and profiting from the post-telecom era.

Major topics of 09 (so far) will include:

* Voice and Video Evolution
* Open Spectrum

* Mobile Social Networking (MoSoSo)
* Open Handsets & the Open Ecosystem
* Social Computing and the Social Web
* Convergence of Media with Personal Communications
* Open Communication Platforms
* Leveraging Cloud Computing

The Emerging Communications Conference:

* Attracts executives and top influencer’s from across the telecom, mobile and Internet space

Why Attend 09?
---------------------
The mammoth sized telecom industry - including cellular - is in the process of being re-written. You either stand on the side to be written into the past or instead join with the growing community to write the future.

Opportunities to profit from the radical restructuring and in accelerating the development of how humanity connects, communicates and collaborates have never been so great.
