The renowned pre-event drinks reception (hosted for the first time by NEUTRONA NETWORKS) got the conference off to a roaring start and the packed Havana bar was buzzing.

Keynote presentations:

The first day of the conference began with two high-level presentations from two leaders in Latin American telecoms. José Ramón Vela, CEO of TELEFONICA GLOBAL SOLUTIONS and Hector Alonso, Regional President for Latin America at LEVEL 3.

Panel sessions:

After a pause for morning coffee (hosted by first-time sponsor TELECOM ARGENTINA) we reconvened for the first keynote panel session entitled ‘Adapting for Success in Latin American Wholesale’ with senior representatives from BT GTM, INTERNEXA, NTT AMERICA and TELCONET. 

The following panel session with GLOBENET, SEABORN NETWORKS, TELEBRAS and TELECOM ARGENTINA contained some fairly heated debate around consortium vs. private subsea cable builds and cost of access was touted as a prohibiting factor for some ROIs.

Day 2:

Day 2 of the conference saw keynote presentations from Riccardo Delleani, Chairman of TELECOM ITALIA SPARKLE and Joe Ettore, Sales Centre Vice President and General Manager for Global Voice Services at AT&T WHOLESALE.

The final panel session of our 10th annual event brought together speakers from AKAMAI, ASCENTY and TERRA BRASIL which naturally focussed on the Brazilian preparations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup and Olympics.

Thank you again to all of our speakers, sponsors, delegates and exhibitors. We look forward to speaking to you in 2014!
