ITU TELECOM

ITU TELECOM is a part of the ITU. As a showcase of telecommunications since its inception in 1971, Telecom serves, every three or four years, as a measure of the progress already achieved and a preparation for the future.

ITU TELECOM events seek to provide a ‘networking platform’ for the global ICT community. Under this ‘platform’ the top names from both government and industry - drawn either from across the globe or from a particular region - can come together, meet, network, view the latest technologies on the Exhibition floor and take part in topical debate in the Forum. The events also feature a wide range of other activities, which focus on all areas of the telecommunications industry from the Youth Forum or TDS (Telecommunication Development Symposium), to high-level networking functions, dinners and more.

ITU TELECOM events are characterized by a diverse set of participants. The Exhibition floor generally features a combination of the big global names; from mobile operators to vendors, Internet, hardware and satellite providers. Alongside the globally recognized names, the exhibition floor also features smaller, innovative new market entrants. National and regional pavilions provide the perfect opportunity for fast-growing regional ICT companies to showcase their latest products and services.

Since 1985 the World Telecom exhibition is joined by regional events in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe.
