The communications industry is used to the occasional technology metamorphoses

Providing a live look-in on the fast-moving and fascinating process that is the telecom industry's current transformation process

The network operators' push to become nimbler providers of on-demand network services is driving technology, personnel and operational challenges at an unprecedented pace for the telecom sector. The shift to virtualization and a software-driven future, the adoption of agile IT working methods and a strong operational push to automation are preludes to the massive business process change reshaping telecom fundamentals.

BCE is uniquely positioned to capture the industry's progress on each of these fronts, directly from those in the trenches. Telecom thought leaders from all industry segments will come together to chart progress tackling mutual challenges and exploring diverse opportunities.

The industry's competitive dynamic continues to shift: Web-scale operators still represent both a threat and an opportunity as does growing distribution of over-the-top content. Recent M&A activity is not only redefining industry scale but also blurring the lines between content creation, ownership and delivery.

Join us at the Annual Awards program run by Light Reading, Monday, May 14th 2018

For me this was a great show because rather than overarching product/solution themes it was the whole new software-defined networking trend that the Big Telecom Event was successfully able to capture from the keynotes to some very insightful session tracks. I think the Light Reading team did an excellent task in bringing the key industry thought leaders together in keynotes, panels, parties and on the show floor to coalesce around the whole software-defined networking industry theme.

Great and informative event. It's unlike any other conference I've attended before where vendors and customers collaborate and discuss issues together. I'm glad to see OTT players like Google also participating in events like this and sharing their expertise
