Exploring the future for IMS; RCS, VoLTE and Real Time Web Communication

Informa Telecoms & Media are delighted to announce the 10th anniversary year of the IMS World Forum – the only dedicated global IMS event in the market. With more commercial launches of VoLTE and RCS services set to hit the market in 2013 , the IMS World Forum will once again address all of the most pertinent issues facing the industry, including Cloud services, WebRTC, Application Development, the OTT challenge, Voice over LTE, Rich Communication Services, and Fixed Mobile Convergence.  This event offers a prime opportunity to network with the entire IMS industry and to discuss the significant steps made by the market along with analysing what needs to be done to maintain this momentum.

Join us in April in Barcelona and hear how the industry views the future role that IMS will play in the evolution to all IP networks and how services can be used to drive the business case for IMS. Pre register today to secure your place.

  • Hear the latest views of the market in the live IMS World Forum industry survey
  • Discover where the current opportunities are around IMS and Cloud Computing
  • Join intimate roundtable analyst breakfast briefings to deepen your understanding
  • Analyse the future for RCS as a mass market service

This highly focused workshop will bring together deep technical and deep business thought leadership on WebRTC with Jose de Castro and Alan Quayle, providing attendees with a unique independent workshop.

Providing a deep-dive quantified analysis of the WebRTC status, enabling attendees to understand what is likely to emerge over the next 18 months to 2 years, in this complex rapidly emerging ecosystem and what it will mean to their business.

Providing attendees with a series of WebRTC demonstrations, to share their experiences on implementing WebRTC, and provide ample networking opportunities at the end of the workshop to discuss and consolidate what has been learned through the day.

Following the success of last year’s launch, the IMS awards will once again recognise achievements made by those in the IMS industry. Entries will be accepted from the 21st January-8th March when our judging panel will receive and begin to review the submissions.
