The Next Business Models Opportunities & Disruptions IDATE's 29th Annual International Conference


    Over the past 29 years, IDATE's International Conference has
    earned its reputation as a cornerstone event for taking stock of the
    changes at work in the Broadband, Mobile and Media industries. A
    veritable international platform for debate and discussion, following
    through on the success of its 2006 edition this year's DigiWorld
    Summit will once again provide an opportunity to examine those events
    that marked the year gone by, and those which will constitute the key
    challenges for the years ahead.

    As it is every year, these plenary sessions and executive seminars
    will be structured around a programme including prominent keynote
    speakers, and a series of presentations and round table discussions.

    14 & 15 November 2007

    This year's plenary sessions will extend over a day and a half,
    and focus on the theme: "The next business models: opportunities &
    disruptions!"

    By way of an introduction to the plenary sessions, IDATE's experts
    will offer the DigiWorld's top players an opportunity to debate the
    current state of the markets, to then pinpoint the questions that are
    key to understanding the future.
