Only Three Days Left before BBWF 2010

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- There are only three days left to register for the world’s largest broadband event – the Broadband World Forum 2010 – and with its truly global line up of speakers, it’s one not to miss.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, the Broadband World Forum 2010 (26-28 October at CNIT, La Defense in Paris, France) will play host to more than 250 visionary speakers discussing over 125 global carrier case studies and presentations.

The comprehensive three-day conference schedule features executive speakers from emerging markets including Malaysia, Japan, Argentina, Egypt, China and Saudi Arabia discussing opportunities in the global broadband market. There are senior level representatives from all the major European operators and service providers, with over 130 operator companies represented.

Gavin Whitechurch, director of Broadband World Forum, commented: “This year’s conference programme is packed full of topical presentations which will excite our delegates and stimulate debate.

“Plus, this year we also have representatives from major international corporations, most notably Verizon, Korea Telecom, Deutsche Telekom who will be discussing the best ways of delivering and protecting digital content in our Executive Institute Leadership Summit.”

Delegates will see a change to the speaker programme this year with the incorporation of four new tracks covering Transport, Intelligence, Access and Services, which are further divided into focus areas to fully enhance the conference experience. These are complemented by the return of the Executive Institute Leadership Summit and the introduction of a Broadband High Growth Markets session.

Gavin added: “Broadband World Forum 2010 is already the biggest in the show’s history - even before we arrive in Paris we’ve had 65 per cent growth in the number of countries attending this year. Our enhanced programme of high quality global speakers has further secured the event as the must-attend broadband show and with delegate numbers already well above last year’s I’m confident they will continue to rise in the next few days.”

Broadband World Forum has long been established as the place to meet and discuss the commercial and technical opportunities, developments and issues surrounding broadband. With over 6,500 pre-registered attendees, 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 150 companies. In addition, the sold out Broadband InfoVision Awards will now be presented during a full gala dinner cruise on the evening of day one.
