Student scholarships available

On June 4-6, The 2012 Canadian Telecom Summit once again gathers the leadership of stakeholders in Canada’s ICT community in Toronto.

With so much public attention focused on telecommunications issues, no other event is quite like The 2012 Canadian Telecom Summit in covering the industry from every angle.

The conference is structured to facilitate networking, whether you meet at our Allstream espresso bar, over cocktails sponsored by Cisco, or in a more formal setting in one of the PwC boardrooms.

ORION is providing scholarships for up to 6 students to attend the conference – there is no better opportunity to get a crash course in Canadian information and communications technologies and services! Let me know if you are interested in attending, or if you know of a student who would benefit from three days at Canada’s premiere ICT event. Six scholarships are available. Priority will be given to students enrolled in a telecom related program (technology, policy, law, etc.) at Ontario universities.

The industry continues to face interesting times for technology and policy, carriage and content.

Vertical integration figures prominently on our minds, with Bell’s acquisition of Astral, as does the changing role for CBC in the wake of substantial funding cuts for the national broadcaster. Bell Media chief Kevin Crull, Rogers Communications head Rob Bruce and CBC’s English Services EVP Kirstine Stewart will each address the conference, joining Industry Minister Christian Paradis and more than 70 other industry leaders who will speak. The full conference line-up features the leadership of virtually every major carrier and supplier of technology in Canada, together with those who set policy and regulate the industry.

This year, in addition to our always popular Regulatory Blockbuster panel, we are featuring sessions devoted to The Performance Cloud; Mobile Commerce; Social Networking; Consumers & Businesses in a Multi-Screen World; Customer Data: Opportunity or Minefield; Unified Communications; Building a Digital Canada; and, Wireless Spectrum: Paying for Air.

Now in its 11th year, The 2012 Canadian Telecom Summit attracts attendees from around the world. For 3 days, The Canadian Telecom Summit delivers thought provoking presentations from the prime movers of the industry. This is your chance to hear from and talk with them in a structured atmosphere of frank discussion and high-octane idea exchange or schmooze over coffee or cocktails in a more relaxed social setting.
