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.

“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 500 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), Do?an Telekom (Turkey), Trabzonspor Telekomünikasyon (Turkey), Koç.net (Turkey), Neotel (Macedonia), Vtel (Georgia).

They join representatives of international corporations with a presence across the region, such as MTS, Altimo and Turkcell, as well as national incumbent operators (KyrgyzTelecom, RomTelecom, Tajiktelecom, Türk Telekom), competitive operators (Azerbaijan’s Bakcell and Aztelecom, Georgia’s Vtel), ISPs, MVNOs etc.

Gathering in Istanbul, 23-24 March, the Eurasia Com speaker panel will share their experiences, strategies and ideas with a delegation of 500 telecoms decision makers with a foothold and vast experience in the market. Focused on the most pertinent issues facing all parts of Eurasian communications, the agenda addresses technology developments, new services, strategies to maximise cost-efficiency, as including special sessions on niche topics such as LTE, MVNOs, mobile marketing and more.
