10:30-11:00Networking Break: featuring the Best of the Briefings at The Showcase StageEvery year the GSMA’s conference team meets a host of companies that amaze us in our summer briefings. Because of constraints of time or topic, in the past we have sometimes been unable to showcase some of the most exciting in the conference agenda, leading to bitter regrets about ‘the ones that got away’. Not this year! This Showcase Stage session will bring you live interaction with three very different companies that blew our socks off with their ideas and the implications they offer.Moderator: Reijo Pold, Head of Partnerships & Events, Wayra Open FutureJulian Hughes, Acting MD, Consumer Electronics, Intelligent EnergyOliver Blower, CEO, VoxSmartItzik Woda, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Media, Kaltura

11:00-12:005G: Creating Value for ConsumersWith its promise of a tenfold increase in data transmission speeds compared to current 4G capabilities, much lower system latency and improved spectrum and signalling efficiency, 5G offers huge capacity for operators to innovate. Evolving the existing mobile broadband business model to take advantage of these enhancements will prove vital to justify the investment that will be required in order for 5G to succeed and resonate with consumers. With early standardisation efforts still underway, this session will assess the real substance behind the 5G hype and explore how mobile operators globally are investing in their future, featuring the latest trial results and informed perspectives on the vital technology roadmap ahead.

11:00-12:00Digital Identity for Connected SocietiesAn increasing number of digital services, from financial to government services, are utilising digital identities to access these services. Several private and public sector deployments, sometimes in partnership, are underway across the world to drive the use of digital identities. Despite the complexity involved in deployment, digital identity solutions enable users to have greater direct control over their own digital identities and enable more effective identity management by service providers. What are the different technology approaches to digital identity solutions? How can digital identity solutions be scaled and managed across users or a geographic population? What are some of the use cases finding success? Find out in this session.

15:15-16:15Operator Customer AnalyticsIf data is the new oil, operators have been sitting on some immense reserves for years. Today we are seeing operators make more creative and more flexible use of this data, driven by improved technical capacities to do so and the sheer business need for customer relevance. Used well it is benefitting the end user’s experience and engagement as well as driving fresh uplifts in ARPU. We examine some of the best examples here, together with a look behind the scenes at how operators overcame traditional roadblocks to fully leverage this information.Moderator: Chris Lewis, MD & Founder of the Great Telco Debate, Lewis InsightKuan Moon Yuen, CEO, Consumer, SingtelTanya Field, CEO, SmartpipeDr. Andrew Tiller, VP, Marketing , AsiaInfoDr. Jiwon Ashley Joo, SVP Product Marketing & MD T-Valley, SK TelecomRob Rich, MD, Insights Research, TM Forum

15:15-16:15Devices: Innovation or Commoditisation?Smartphone adoption has entered the late majority phase of technology adoption diffusion and the word “commoditisation” is being freely used. Certainly, high profile victims of this maturing market are multiplying. Is the consumer only interested in the price of their Android device? Innovation is the antidote to commoditisation, and the market is searching for the next great hope or hype. Wearables have yet to deliver, but is the market as undifferentiated as the doomsayers would have you believe? Where is the innovation gold in them there hills? In this session, we ask some of the main protagonists to respond and highlight where they are innovating and differentiating to enhance the consumer experience.

15:15-16:15GamingThe combination of increasingly sophisticated and immersive gaming experiences, streaming technologies and social media platforms is transforming the video games industry. The personal gaming experience is being supplemented or even replaced by a community experience, and moving from personal entertainment to spectator sport, with top e-sports events now drawing larger viewing audiences than many established sporting events, and attracting ever more investment as a result. This shift in consumer behaviour is creating new and exciting opportunities all along the gaming value chain, from the way games are developed and commercialised to enabling gamers themselves to monetise content streamed via their own channels and to their own audiences. How will these trends evolve over the coming years, and what impact will they have on the video games industry and beyond? How is mobile gaming being incorporated into this new paradigm? What can other digital media industries learn from gaming’s trans-media approach to content creation and audience engagement?

16:45-17:45Putting Privacy at the Core of DigitalAs devices, apps and services continue to expand users’ digital footprints on a massive scale, privacy has emerged as a key consideration for users, service providers and policymakers. The amount of user data generated from devices, apps and services today is unprecedented and is set to increase rapidly. How can devices, platforms, apps and services be designed in ways which put privacy at their core and give users clear privacy controls over how their data is collected and shared with third parties? How are policymakers ensuring the right data protection and privacy frameworks are put in place, particularly as the technological landscape rapidly evolves? This session will bring together some of the industry’s leading privacy experts to debate these questions and more.

10:30-11:00Networking Break: featuring Apps at The Showcase StageIt’s difficult to do justice to an area as wide-ranging as apps in just 30 minutes…but we’ll try. With thousands of new apps developed every month, we’ve cherry picked a few gems for you to feast on in this Tuesday morning session, from the only app you’ll need for your Smart Home to year-round fundraising.Come along, watch the demos and get hands-on with these inventive apps.Moderator: David MacQueen, Executive Director, Apps & Media, Strategy AnalyticsPhilip Steele, Founder, nCubeDamir Sabol, CEO, PhotomathHenry Ludlam, CEO, Team FirstAgathe Evain, CMO, Lilymedia

11:00-12:005G: Creating Value for Industry VerticalsAs the Internet of Things (IoT) begins to transform the ways in which people and things interact, 5G is widely anticipated to prove a catalyst for enabling a range of new industry applications. These ultra-low latency networks will deliver the connectivity requirements necessary to revolutionise the prospects for autonomous cars and healthcare to name just two such examples. Deloitte predicts that 60% of all wireless IoT devices will be bought and used by enterprises and industries, and 90% of the services revenue will likewise be enterprise-driven. Thus providing critical security and privacy concerns can be allayed and solutions are in place to protect the huge amount of sensitive data that will be transmitted on these networks, 5G looks set to play a vital role in the Internet of Things across many verticals. This session will debate how operators can capitalise upon these exciting new market opportunities and ensure technology requirements can be fulfilled with their 5G investments.

11:00-12:00Mobile Advertising: Ad-Engagement and Ad-BlockingIt is well recognised that mobile is a powerful platform for marketers to communicate with their target audience. Consequently, consumers are now being exposed to a significantly higher volume and sophistication of online advertising than ever before. However, it is vital to achieve the right balance between well-targeted, relevant offers and perceived intrusion in order to avoid abusing trust and alienating consumers, who are not always aware of the impact multimedia adverts can have on data allowances until it is too late. Accordingly, ad-blocking initiatives that provide consumers with more transparency and control over the privacy of their personal data are now gaining considerable traction. Certainly, Apple’s recent decision to support mobile ad-blocking with the release of Safari iOS 9 has brought this inflammatory subject into the public spotlight, forcing publishers and advertisers to consider their response carefully. This session will debate the future of the ad-tech revolution and seek to determine what approach is truly in the best interests of the consumer.

11:00-12:00The New Digital OperatorUnder today’s business and financial pressures nobody can afford to stand still. We have already heard auto makers, financial houses and many others describe themselves as digital companies; and now operators are starting to describe themselves as becoming ‘digital services providers’ (DSP).What does that mean, in practice, to the operators? And what changes in business model, technology, organisation and business practices must they adopt to realise the aim of becoming a successful DSP? Leading lights share their plans, pain points and experiences so far.

11:00-12:00The Industrial Internet of ThingsThis session will focus on the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and the opportunities for enterprises across industries around the world. Much discussion on the benefits of IoT to date has centred on creating efficiencies, however, crucial to companies now is how IIoT can drive revenue growth. The concept of industrial M2M isn’t new, but the opportunity has exploded as enterprises across a range of industries increasingly recognise the value of pairing big data analytics with IIoT. Through discussion and analysis of case studies in success, this session will explore the big applications for IIoT, the different approaches to capturing revenue growth with IIoT and the potential challenges ahead.

15:15-16:15Enterprise Mobility CIO RoundtableEnterprise mobility is emerging as a key enabler of business transformation to drive greater efficiencies, agility and customer engagement. The enterprise organisation will face numerous considerations, such as whether to develop enterprise mobility capabilities in-house or use external service providers; what mobile apps and services to deploy or business functions to mobilise; and how to deploy enterprise mobility securely. What are CIOs’ biggest priorities and investment areas when deploying enterprise mobility – for example, devices and connectivity, enterprise apps, mobile device management, or security? What is the best governance structure to support enterprise mobility? In this session, industry CIOs and C-level IT practitioners will discuss their companies’ respective paths to enterprise mobility.

15:15-16:15Data Monetisation: Capturing the MNO Revenue OpportunityOperators have a unique perspective of their users; information which, in aggregate, can be a powerful resource both internally and for sharing with third parties. While privacy concerns have been an issue historically, more powerful techniques for collating, presenting and anonymising data in real time have made the potential MNO offering both safer and more compelling to partners in the public, NGO and private sectors. This session explores how operators are able to monetise the data they hold within the bounds of both privacy and public acceptance.

15:15-16:15The Virtual Reality OpportunityThis session will explore the evolution of virtual reality and the growth opportunities it presents. As the smartphone market becomes increasingly saturated, with less significant hardware innovations, a market opportunity is emerging for VR products, both in consumer and enterprise markets. VR is quickly approaching consumer readiness and with some significant VR product announcements recently, more companies are considering VR for their business and whether it presents a new growth opportunity. How can companies actually make money from VR and when should they invest and start planning? Beyond this, how can the industry move forward with Virtual reality and with what affect? Is this an important opportunity for the future of the mobile industry?

16:45-17:45Cognitive ComputingArtificial intelligence and cognitive computing have existed for some time now, but it hasn’t been until quite recently, as our ever more connected world ushers in the Big Data era, that these technologies have been brought into the mainstream. Broadly defined as simulating human thought processes in computerized models, cognitive computing is designed to facilitate useful interaction between human and computing systems that build knowledge, learn, understand language and reasoning while also being able to grasp more subtle concepts such as context. Beyond the incredible potential for scientific research, businesses and industries generating structured data at the necessary scale stand to benefit the most in the short term from insights gained from these new computing systems. In the longer term, these technologies promise to radically transform how we interact with an increasingly digital and automated world around us. Join this session for unique insights from pioneers of cognitive computing.

16:45-17:45Innovating for InclusionGovernments, NGOs and other institutions are increasingly leveraging ICT, and mobile in particular, to more efficiently deliver important services to existing constituents as well as to previously underserved individuals and communities. In many cases however, scaling up these activities to boost overall inclusion faces many challenges. From an access point of view, coverage remains a key concern, and efforts aimed at connecting the rest of the world to the internet must continue at pace, and will certainly require a blend of conventional solutions as well as more innovative or cost efficient solutions to achieve this goal. Digital literacy also presents a significant challenge given so many of the world’s underserved populations will be accessing such services for the first time, emphasising the need to educate users as well as developing intuitive and intelligent user interfaces. Finally, more will need to be done to move new and existing services into the digital space to increase their reach and positive impact, while also ensuring that such services are provided in a safe and secure environment. Join this session to learn how the mobile industry is working with different stakeholders to develop important and innovative solutions for inclusion.

11:00-12:00The Reinvention of the MVNOIn many countries MVNOs were first introduced as a regulatory mechanism for boosting competition, but often ended up supporting specific niches with relatively little impact on the market as a whole. Today, though, we are seeing MVNOs exploit new opportunities driven by the rapid changes in the technology and business environment. They are creating new markets and supporting drastically different business models, increasing their potential both as disruptive rivals and partners to the MNOs. In this session we showcase some of the most significant of this new wave.

11:00-12:00The Contextual Commerce OpportunityContextual commerce presents significant opportunities as the entire shopping experience becomes seamless and automated, driving up consumer spend. This session will explore how the significant opportunities in contextual commerce can be realised by leveraging the numerous data sets available. From behavioural to demographic or situational data, what role do the different stakeholders in the ecosystem play in capturing, analysing and sharing these different data sets? What are the business models involved? How can the ecosystem work more collaboratively to build the context of a customer and deliver a better overall commerce experience for customers? Beyond this, the session will explore the potential pitfalls with breaches in privacy as ultra-convenience becomes king.

15:15-16:15Co-Opetition and Managed Services in the Digital Value ChainWhile the traditional ‘telcos’ move to become smarter, more agile providers of digital services, the ecosystem around them is shifting. More complex offerings in IoT and ‘x as a service’ force operators to coordinate partners more like a systems integrator. Ventures into media distribution, financial services and more, create new fields for competition and collaboration. Meanwhile traditional vendors are building their own managed service propositions which can take them direct to market as well as supporting MNOs in delivering their new generation of services. In short, the old supplier-buyer relationship is changing fast. The opportunities are astronomical for those leaders who can reinvent their processes, organisations and world view to embrace these new realities but it’s not easy. This session brings lessons from thought leaders positioning their companies to lead in the years ahead.

15:15-16:15MNO CEO RoundtableOperator revenue growth has seen significant variations between different regions over the past few years with emerging market economies maintaining healthy growth, as opposed to most of the rest of the world seeing slower and even negative growth rates. The global forecast for the coming years seems much more stable and uniform, though perhaps not so bright, with GSMAi predicting a 3.1% CAGR per annum through to 2020, down from 4% for 2008-14. While most markets will see similar forces driving this trend - such as regulatory action, increased competition and market saturation - decisions taken today will define how successful operators will be at beating the markets tomorrow. Indeed, the transition to data centric services enabled by next generation all IP networks is creating new opportunities to diversify revenue streams with new products, services and partnerships beginning to offset the loss of traditional operator revenues, as well as easing the burden of investment for future network deployments and upgrades. Join leading operator CEOs from around the world as they discuss how the mobile industry can best position itself to succeed in the face of the challenges our industry will encounter in the coming years.

15:15-16:15Enabling the Smart WorkforceMobility is now front and centre of any progressive companies IT strategy. While consumer initiatives grab the headlines and the vast majority of subscribers, enterprise accounts for a significant share of revenue and profit. For example 27% of Vodafone’s global revenue comes from enterprise, 40% in the UK. Employees now expect the flexibility that mobile solutions provide to enable a 21st century work/life balance. It is a key element of recruitment and employee retention. Businesses are looking far beyond productivity applications to unified communications, M2M, cloud and full service solutions across all device types, operating systems and things, for organizational and service efficiencies. The growth and complexity mobility adds to enterprise IT infrastructure requires significant strategic consideration and investment in enabling technology; security, cost, application and device management solutions. This session explores the options to ensure the right strategy and solutions to ensure success and a future-proof roadmap.

16:45-17:45The End of Subsidy?The mobile has an annual debate about the future of subsidy, however 2015 has seen some significant shifts in the use of subsidy, with greater tariff transparency, use of finance, flexibility and unbundling with the growth in SIM only contracts. Subsidy remains critical to high end device sales and subscriber acquisition in many, often advanced markets. If this trend continues, what will the impact be on mobile operator’s control of retail, a key customer touchpoint, it’s control of a devices network performance and the sales of high end devices, which are already under pressure? The end of subsidy could marginalize the mobile operator and accelerate the advent of eSIM in smartphones and other mobile devices. This session discusses the future of subsidy and the potential impact of its demise.

11:00-12:00New Paradigms for Delivering Cost Effective Quality of ExperienceTo quote an operator CEO recently, “Without QoE we are dead”. The quality of users’ experience on the operator network is fundamental to the brand’s reputation, but throwing money at the network to ensure bandwidth has proven unsustainably expensive and, at times, just solves the wrong problem. New QoE-centric approaches to network building, monitoring and management paired with a clearer understanding of the end user’s actual experience offer the chance for the operator to compete better with less expenditure. In this session we examine best practices to deliver an excellent quality of experience.

12:15-13:15LTE Network Diversity: LTE Unlicensed and BeyondGlobal mobile data traffic is set to continue growing at exponential rates over the next five years, and according to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index, Wi-Fi will account for just over half of all traffic from 2016 onwards. The development of LTE-U provides mobile operators with a compelling solution to address congestion within their licensed spectrum bands while also providing a superior user experience to Wi-Fi in the unlicensed bands, especially in those instances where Wi-Fi’s performance is likely to be tested. However, questions remain over the viability of running both Wi-Fi and LTE-U within the same bands, and concerns have been raised about the potential impact LTE-U deployments might have on existing and future Wi-Fi deployments. Beyond these technical considerations, how will consumers react to competition between a perceived free service in Wi-Fi, to charged access via LTE-U? Given the potential impact on consumers, will telecoms regulators be tempted to intervene, and what implications could this have for future innovations in the unlicensed spectrum bands? Join experts from across the value chain as they debate the potential benefits and pitfalls of LTE-U.
