The Latin American mobile market is undergoing tremendous development, marked by major 4G network deployment and expansion.

Mobile 360 Latin America will convene decision makers from across the mobile industry as well as diverse sectors to discuss the key opportunities ahead for mobile to further deliver growth with new products and services, in areas such as mobile identity, mobile money, IP communications and Connected Living.
