TORONTO – Organizers of the 2018 Canadian ISP Summit have issued a call for content for this year’s event, scheduled for November 5 – 7, 2018 at the Toronto Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre Hotel.
This year’s theme is ‘Beyond Connectivity’ and the confab seeks to explore how service providers can and will evolve as consumer demands change. Understanding the implications of the shift in consumer focus away from connectivity will assist service providers to prepare for changing demands on their infrastructure, meet evolving customer expectations, and maximize the value of their service offerings.
Keynote speakers, sessions and panels will explore these ideas further, and help identify other challenges and opportunities important to service providers of all sizes.
Key topics may touch on some, or all, of the following areas:
• Industrial IOT – Increased Productivity Opportunities / Software Defined Networking as an Enabler of IOT / Changes Brought by Industrial IOT
• Consumer IOT – Household Trends / How Consumer IOT Adoption is Driving New Business Models and Service Requirements
• AI – Leveraging AI to Improve Customer Experiences / New AI-Driven Applications and Services / AI-Driven Changes to the Workforce
• Big Data – Impact of Big Data on ISPs / What Data Can or Should an ISP be Leveraging
• Business – How These Changes are Impacting a Business’ Leadership Needs, Marketing Efforts, Workforce Requirements, and Growth Opportunities
More information, including the proposal submission form is available here. All proposals must be submitted prior to July 1, 2018.
