Delegates' feedback: "@howardlake did a great course last week in London" Sara Atkinson Haworth Cat Rescue 23 March 2009 "Having decided that the NCPTA needed to utilise digital media to the full\, we went onto open a Twitter account. The question was\, what do we do next?

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. Opportunity Doesn't Always Knock. Sometimes It Calls. The Emerging Communications (eComm) Conference & Awards was created to promote and accelerate communications innovation. Telecom\, mobile and to a lesser extent\, Internet based communications\, had been innovation stagnant for far too long. Yet the opportunities for innovation had never been greater. Those opportunities are only going to grow as drastic changes further impact the multi-trillion dollar a year telecom industry. Changes include: * Telecom is becoming software * Today's model of the telephony and SMS cash-cows will significantly dry up long-term * "Phones" are becoming general purpose always-on computers * A march is underway to change how spectrum is allocated and utilised * Applications innovation is being democratised * The media industry is converging with personal communications * Internet-style ecosystems are starting to pressurise the traditional value chain * Search engines and computer manufactures are encroaching into the space * App downloads\; media content and even communication streams are increasingly routing-around operator's billing systems * The telecom kingdom is fragmenting daily. There is not a migratory way from where we are to the future\; this means unprecedented opportunity for those ahead-of-the-curve. The debut San Francisco Spring 2008 conference broke a lot of new ground and created a forum attracting 300 top influencer's and 80 speakers from 15 countries. San Francisco Spring 2009 built upon that foundation with world-class speakers and a 25% increase in attendees. Amsterdam Fall 2009 is the debut European event and promises to further cement the community.
