The Symposium is a cyclical event that has gained the title of a critical meeting of the two markets: telecom and media. Every year, it brings together people who have a significant influence on the development of the above mentioned sectors: CEOs of leading companies operating in these markets, solution vendors, representatives of public administration, and technology providers. Previous editions of the event show that it has become a unique platform for discussion as the participants exchange their thoughts and opinions about the most significant changes occurring in the market, analyze new trends, build new business models, and also implement the strategies.
