On behalf of the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all the sponsors, exhibitors and participants of our incredibly successful Carrier Wi-Fi Summit at MWC this week. This was the first time we have carried out an event of this scale and we have you to thank for helping us to make this the huge success that it was.
The Carrier Wi-Fi Summit was the highest attended event in the WBA’s history! We welcomed 550-plus conference attendees, 275-plus workshop attendees and 21-plus sponsors and exhibitors from around the world. There were 30 high level speakers in 13 workshop sessions and 27 conference presentations and panel discussions were packed in to the 4 day event. Attendees included operators, leading industry players, analysts and members of the media community. The event agenda provided a great forum to facilitate discussion between various members of the mobile ecosystem including operators (mobile, fixed, cable etc.), device manufacturers and vendors, allowing each to gain a better appreciation of the other’s strategic direction and imperatives for the continued development of Carrier Wi-Fi.
Let’s all look forward to the next WBA Wi-Fi Global Congress which will take place in San Francisco on the 7th – 10th October 2014. We are in the process of putting together an engaging agenda along with a range of exciting activities, all focusing on the future of Carrier Wi-Fi. We look forward to seeing all of you there.
