ITU TELECOM
 ITU TELECOM brings together the top names from across the ICT industry as well as ministers and regulators and many more for a major exhibition, a high-level forum and a host of other opportunities. Through all that they offer, the events provide a networking platform for the world’s ICT community to come together, meet, network, showcase the latest technologies, explore the latest trends and get business done.
ITU TELECOM began life in 1971 when the first event was held in Geneva, Switzerland. Since then, ITU TELECOM has built up a wealth of experience organizing events across the world. An ITU TELECOM event is held in a different world region each year, with the flagship ITU TELECOM WORLD taking place every 3 years.
The exhibition is a major component of each ITU TELECOM event and features the top players from across the ICT industry. Expect to see exhibitors showcasing the latest products, services and innovations, from broadband or IP-enabled services to mobile and wireless technologies, next-generation networks, satellites and much more. Companies and technologies on the show floor span the full reach of the industry. The Show Floor also includes the TELECOM VILLAGE, a quiet environment at the heart of the event, designed specifically for business productivity, where companies can base their HQ onsite for the duration of the event.
Running alongside the exhibition is the Forum, which brings together the industry’s top names—including CEOs and regulators, government and industry visionaries—to debate and explore the trends shaping the global ICT industry of tomorrow. The Forum includes a Youth Forum, which brings together young people—students of university age from ITU Member states across the globe — for a packed programme of discussion and debate to shape the world’s ICT future. It also includes the Telecommunication Development Symposium, a special convention aimed at boosting ICT capacity in least-developed and low-income ITU Member States.
ITU TELECOM offers a number of other services such as sponsorship and visibility packages to help companies maximize their event participation. There are also a host of different social events plus online services and a VIP programme, all designed to help participants meet, network and make the right connections before, during and after the event.
Participants at events represent a broad cross-section of the ICT industry, with the major global ICT names very much in evidence along with smaller, innovative new market entrants. National, regional or industry pavilions provide the ideal opportunity for fast-growing regional ICT companies to showcase their latest products and services.
ITU TELECOM also features an extensive presence of government ministers and regulators, as well as a significant number of global and regional media organizations. |
