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.
