eComm2008: Emerging Communications Conference

Welcome!

eComm™ is a brand new telecom event for those interested in radical innovation and seizing the next opportunity wave.
Keynotes include Google, Skype and Ribbit

Why eComm™?

The trillion dollar telecommunications industry has already started down the path that the homebrew computer took three decades ago. Democratized computation gave birth to the computer industry. eComm tracks, highlights and promotes both the people and the technologies driving the democratization of communications.

eComm™ brings out the visionaries, bleeding-edge technologies, real-world startups, cutting-edge academic projects, views from the incumbent telecom players; garage based hacks and stirs required policy debates to create the only telecommunications forum to embrace and promote the radical change.

Attend eComm™ and be better positioned to minimize risk and seize the new wave of opportunity.

Some example topics are:

• Future of telephony and SMS in the era of social media
• Consumer VoIP has only had minor impact so what happens next?
• How will Android™ and the Open Handset Alliance™ change the mobile ecosystem? What about an iPhone™ SDK?
• How is the networked information environment displacing telephony and main stream media?
• How can our personal service IDs, contact IDs, devices and content be managed, synced and shared?
• Is the mastery of different distribution systems a key to winning both technically and financially? Will the Internet subsume the other systems?
• Do WiMAX, LTE, WiFi mesh, 4G, UWB, SDR and wireless grid technologies represent opportunities? What about VoIPo3G?
• How can communications be enhanced with attention metadata, positioning, presence and digital reputation?
• Will open spectrum unleash a torrent of wireless innovation?

We’re also interested in the intersection of communications with community, entertainment and ecommerce which we're seeing in social networking sites, online video, photography and product reviews.

We even ponder over the human connectedness angle, trying to gain insight into why people communicate and what they are trying to achieve.

If that wasn't a tall enough order, we're also bringing out the open source phone hackers to see where they are leading us.
