Paris (F), August 2010 - The world's largest broadband event - the Broadband World Forum 2010 from 26 to 28 October at CNIT, La Defense in Paris, France - has unveiled its enhanced conference program and released delegate passes for its biggest show yet.
The Broadband World Forum 2010 will this year feature more than 200 leading industry speakers, including 125 global service providers, from around the world. They will address over 6,000 attendees across four new tracks covering transport, intelligence, access, and services.
The start of each day will see a series of keynote sessions run by global executives from operator and vendor companies worldwide covering the latest innovations in the broadband industry, including "Who Pays? The New Economic Model for Broadband, Broadband: Changing Lives and Services in the Cloud". This year's keynote line-up includes:
There will also be an exclusive, invitation-only Executive Leadership Summit and a half-day Broadband High-Growth Markets seminar featuring contributors from across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Gavin Whitechurch, research director at Informa Telecoms & Media, commented, "This year's enhanced event program is set to make Broadband World Forum a truly global event. Our provisional agenda has already attracted high levels of interest from potential delegates, and our exhibition is eighty per cent sold or reserved."
"Attendee figures are tracking well above previous years. We hope that this exceptional level of early interest, along with the unrivalled speaker and exhibitor line up, will attract a record number of visitors. This will help to secure our place as the number one broadband show and establish us as the leading global telecommunications event."
This year Broadband World Forum is celebrating its tenth anniversary - the event has long been established as the place to meet and discuss the commercial and technical opportunities, developments, and issues surrounding broadband. The new conference structure for 2010 is in response to delegate feedback and now features analyst breakfast briefings, more keynote sessions, a choice of four conference tracks, and a world-class exhibition including 280 companies. In addition, the Broadband InfoVision Awards will now be presented during a gala dinner cruise on the evening of day one.
