Supporting Business Models for a New Open World

ICIN 2008 will take place from 20 to 23 October 2008 at the Sofitel Bordeaux Hotel in Bordeaux, France.

Since 1989 the ICIN series of conferences has been bringing together leading telecom and internet experts from industry, universities and government worldwide. ICIN operates on a rigorous peer review process and has become the established industry forum for addressing intelligence in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). ICIN conferences are renowned for their debates on the impact of emerging technology, architecture and industry trends on intelligent communications services.

ICIN has an enviable track record of identifying key technology and service trends - and analysing their impact on business models - before they become widely recognized.

ICIN conferences cover both technology and business issues. They typically feature one day of tutorials followed by a three day programme in which delegates can select state-of-the-art presentations by worldwide leading industry experts. ICIN is well-known for thought-provoking presentations of the highest quality on emerging technology, architecture, and industry trends impacting intelligent communications services.

The ICIN Community

ICIN provides a unique impartial environment for open and honest technical dialogue in the area of intelligent communications services.

This is acknowledged by the many professional engineering and scientific societies worldwide that have supported ICIN over the years. The conferences are both intimate and global, typically attracting 250 delegates from operators, equipment and software vendors, systems integrators, R&D centres and universities, from more than 30 countries.

The ICIN community brings together experts from all sectors of the ICT industry to share knowledge, experience, lessons learnt and good practice. The community not only includes many influential thinkers but is also well known for its willingness to explore new ideas and business models.
