22 FEBRUARY 2012 - Sydney

Communications Alliance is proud to host a stellar speaker line-up at Broadband and Beyond this year, including Selina Lo, President and CEO of Ruckus Wireless, Steven Wood, CEO Tennis Australia, Mark Scott Managing Director, ABC and many others. See the full list below. 

The conference will explore in depth the push toward seamless connectivity and converging content for all Australians.

Broadband and Beyond will look at issues including how current media will adapt to market change, how consumer expectations will be met and  what will happen on the device front. 

The new environment is already changing the way we interact with content. The debate is at last moving away from the relative merits of specific access platforms, toward recognition that all next-gen technologies have a role to play.
