London: The GSMA today outlined the first details of the 2016 Mobile 360 Series - Latin America conference, which will take place 20-22 September at the Hyatt Regency in Mexico City. The thought leadership conference, which forms part of the 2016 GSMA Mobile 360 Series of events, will highlight the latest innovations in the region and will feature experts from leading mobile operators, ecosystem players and companies in adjacent industry sectors.
Mobile is making a vital contribution to economic growth in Latin America, as well as tackling a range of social challenges, such as closing the digital divide and bringing financial inclusion to previously underserved populations, said Michael O'Hara, Chief Marketing Officer, GSMA. However, the rapid adoption of more advanced devices and higher speed network coverage means that mobile technology has the potential to play a much more significant role in the future. Mobile 360 - Latin America will convene decision makers from across the industry to discuss how mobile will support future innovation.
Mobile 360 - Latin America will address the main opportunities and challenges facing the mobile industry today. Delegates will have the opportunity to explore and discuss key drivers of innovation in the region, including the Internet of Things, connected cars, mobile identity, mobile money, 5G, media and advertising, among others.
Conference Programme
The Mobile 360 - Latin America conference programme will offer perspectives from across the mobile and technology landscape. The first two days will feature a series of high-level presentations and panel discussions on the most pressing trends and issues in mobile, while day three will incorporate the GSMA Latin America Plenary No. 44 for GSMA members, with a series of themed workshops presented by GSMA Latin America Working Groups.
