Communications Day’s Grahame Lynch keeps telco executives in ANZ up-to-date with essential business intelligence, featuring interviews with C-level executives and government ministers in this weekly podcast.
CommsDay Summit is the forum for Australia’s top telecoms leaders: CEOs of our major telecom network operators and retailers, senior leaders from the world’s top telecom technology providers and the heads of Australia’s telecom regulatory agencies and major co-regulatory stakeholders.
The Summit attracts around 400 speakers and delegates: a who’s who of all the people you need to meet and talk with in Australian telecommunications, but intimate enough that you can network effectively and not get lost in the crowd.
The annual Commsday Edison awards will be bookable separately at a later date.
