THEME: New Generation, New Values
The Forum, Exhibition and other activities for ITU TELECOM ASIA
2008 reflect this year’s theme: New Generation, New Values. Asia is
indeed unique as a vast region with a highly diverse set of markets spanning
every stage of economic development. No other region in the world innovates and
embraces technology like Asia. Entire generations have defined themselves, their
jobs, their social relationships and their future by the innovative ways they
use technology. People’s needs may not have changed, but their ability to meet
those needs certainly has.
EXPECTED PARTICIPATION
At ASIA 2008, we expect a broad cross section
of companies, organizations and regions to participate, ranging from operators,
manufacturers, internet service providers or software suppliers to academia,
banking and finance, plus an extensive presence of government ministers and
regulators and more, from across the Asia-Pacific region There will also be a
significant South East Asian presence, through a major Thai Pavilion. All
attendees play an active part in the event, either as exhibitors, Forum
delegates, VIPs, media representatives or trade visitors.
