The Emerging Communications Conference is around the corner and it is shaping up to be an amazing show.
This conference is the brain child of Lee S Dryburgh and he calls it “The Trillion Dollar Industry Rethink.” He writes: “Communications innovation has been stagnant, in my opinion, for nearly a decade… there has been an obsession with transmitting voice over IP… Re-creating an existing service but changing the means of transmission may be interesting from the technology point of view, but the consumer couldn’t care less… [Now] an exciting race has begun but only for those who understand the communications industry has been asleep at the wheel.”
Phil Wolffe says that the conference will assemble “mindblowing visionaries and entrepreneurial cutthroats, telco rebels and minute-stealing traffickers, frontier architects and mad scientists, all in service to this profound change of our societies, our economies, our work, and our very lives.”
Brough Turner says: “tons of interesting people attending… this is not your typical telecom conference.”
Web Worker Daily says: “Industry heavyweights such as Skype, Google, Yahoo!, Twitter, and more … making it both an intriguing and stellar lineup.” And they have a podcast about the show available.
Alec Saunders hosted a pre-conference discussion using Iotum’s nifty Facebook-based Free Conference Call system. Audio available here.
