Record Numbers of C-Level Operators Confirm to Speak at Eurasia Com Congress
Informa Telecoms & Media are pleased to announce that more CxO level operators from a record number of new companies are confirmed to speak at the 6th annual Eurasia Com congress and exhibition (www.comworldseries.com/eurasia). Now truly unique in value, this well established event will gather 500 telecoms decision-makers in Istanbul 23-24 March 2010 to debate the commercial challenges, opportunities and position of the whole telecoms market of the Caspian and Central Asia.
The Eurasia region, stretching across 10 markets from Mongolia through Central Asia and Turkey to the Caucasus, has one of the fastest growing mobile markets in the world. With Informa Telecoms & Media forecasting mobile subscriptions to grow 30%, or by more than 40 million by 2014, there is plenty of opportunity for regional service providers and international investors to capitalise. A diverse market, Eurasia ranges from the highly developed market of Turkey to markets in the Caspian and Central Asia who are still addressing the challenges of modernisation and liberalisation. These variations make for interesting and valuable information and experience sharing at regional gatherings such as Eurasia Com.
The 2 day conference agenda is led by a speaker panel of 45 including 25 CxO level representatives from the most dynamic operators in Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazahkstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina. A staggering 14 new operator companies and 5 new countries will join a well established line-up at the 6th annual event. The rest of the panel comprises representatives from all strata of the telecoms ecosystem including regional Ministers, regional and international investors, solutions and technology providers and “crystal ball” analysts that will deliver valuable market predictions.
“This year’s speaker line-up really positions Eurasia Com as THE must-attend event in the region,” said Julie Rey, Conference Director, Eurasia Com. “We are pleased to welcome new speakers from countries not represented in the past, namely: Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Macedonia and Romania. The more extensive speaker panel derived from all levels of the telecoms ecosystem will deliver the broadest perspective and richest possible learning, best practice sharing and networking experience for all 400 attendees.”
For the first time, the conference will feature speakers from the following regional operator market leaders: Vodafone Turkey, Romtelecom (Romania), Dardafone Telecom (Kosovo), Altel (Kazakhstan), Yota (Russia), Makedonski Telecom (Macedonia), Avea (Turkey), SuperOnline (Turkey), Borusan Telekomm (Turkey), Doğan Telekom (Turkey), Trabzonspor Telekomünikasyon (Turkey), Koç.net (Turkey), Neotel (Macedonia), Vtel (Georgia). They will be joined by a more familiar line-up of national incumbent operators (KyrgyzTelecom, RomTelecom, Tajiktelecom, Türk Telekom), and competitive operators (Azerbaijan’s Bakcell and Aztelecom, Georgia’s Vtel), ISPs, MVNOs etc.
Investors from Russia and Turkey dominate the landscape. Russian companies have interests in operators in seven of the 10 markets, while Turkcell invests in three of the nine markets outside Turkey. Representatives of international corporations with a presence across the region, such as MTS, Altimo and Turkcell will be present at the show bringing their experience to the table of innovative marketing strategies and accelerated infrastructure investment.
The Eurasia Com speaker panel will share their experiences, strategies and ideas with the assembled telecoms decision makers leading the region’s market. Focused on the most pertinent issues facing all parts of Eurasian communications, the agenda addresses technology developments, new services and strategies to maximize cost-efficiency. With the fixed-line infrastructure across much of Eurasia being severely underdeveloped, mobile operators in the region also have the potential to build strong businesses providing basic broadband and Internet access. WCDMA/HSPA licenses have already been awarded in all markets in the region except Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan and Informa forecasts that WCDMA subscriptions will exceed GSM subscriptions by end-2014. In light of this the agenda includes special sessions on new technologies to much of the region such as LTE, MVNOs, mobile marketing and more. All sessions are simultaneously translated into Turkish, English and Russian.
There are 14 new features for 2010 but most significantly, the congress includes a special Turkey Focus Day. Accounting for 54% of the 129 million mobile subscriptions in Eurasia, Turkey dominates the market. Despite penetration in Turkey already exceeding 90%, the number of mobile subscriptions in the country is forecast to increase by more than 18 million by 2014 so massive potential still exists. The special focus day will gather Turkish telecoms leaders to look at the developments in the market powerhouse. The country’s top operators (Türk Telekom, Turkcell, Avea and Vodafone) will present their companies’ strategies and be joined by alternative operators (Borusan Telekom, Doğan Telekom), ISPs (Superonline) and MVNOs (Trabzonspor Telekomünikasyon) to discuss key subjects such as convergence, competition levels, new market oppportunities, consumer requirements and more.
As well as being a unique learning opportunity, EurasiaCom is a one-stop-shop for telecoms professionals to network and develop their business with all parts of the telecoms ecosystem. In March, 500 participants from across Europe, Central Asia and beyond will benefit from dedicated interaction and contact building time, thanks to interactive sessions in the conference: ‘XING networking game’ organised by event social networking partner XING, online networking system and informal meeting times such as the drinks reception at the panoramic Summit Bar of the Conrad Hotel where the congress is being held.
The un-paralleled speaker line-up makes Eurasia Com THE must-attend annual meeting place for anyone working in or looking to do business in this region's telecoms sector. Now is a great time to tap into the potential and invest in your operations in these high-growth, under-penetrated markets. Opportunities exist for telecoms technology vendors to gain privileged access to the strong list of VIPs we are assembling and regional operators to develop their networks and services to drive more profitability from their operations.
