Featured Session: The Path to Mobile Marketing Mastery

Sixty-seven percent of interactive marketers are currently using mobile or are planning to start using it in the next year. While this is great news, it’s not time to start celebrating yet. Mobile is still a relatively new channel with a learning curve that needs to be traversed before it becomes a fully integrated part of brands’ marketing programs. This session will explore Forrester’s Mobile Marketing Playbook, providing a road-map for developing your organization's mobile marketing skills and practices, step-by-step, from the ground up.

Featured Track: 3rd Annual LATAM Mobile Marketing Summit

Global Telecoms Business is the only magazine written specifically for the carrier C-level executives in the industry. Each issue contains many interviews with senior carrier management as well as strategic articles.

On May 22nd GTB will be holding the first Telecoms CFOs' Summit. This will be the largest ever gathering of carrier CFOs. They are coming together to discuss the state of the industry and to talk about the issues they all face. At present, 16 carrier CFOs have agreed to deliver a keynote speech or sit on a panel.

The role of the CFO has changed over the last few years. The role is now much more strategic and operational, rather than pure finance. CFOs play an important part in determining carriers' direction as well as investment — and in many operators the CTOs and CIOs report directly to them. The CFO will state their case at the board meetings.

Any executive working at a company that supplies products or services to carriers should come to this event to network with this important group of carrier executives, and also to learn their views. As a bonus we will be offering a great deal of hard-to-get market intelligence to delegates on the day.
