The recent Orlando event heralded extraordinary new insights from those who lead the industry, right across the spectrum of insight and influence, and so for me heading up a Global Consulting organisation, I could not have a better us of time.
Over 1,200 delegates made the trip to Orlando from around the world, including many "C-Suite" Executives, who I know all made valuable contacts and gained huge insight which they will be able to use in their organisations.
None of these TM Forum Conferences would run without iconic leadership of Keith Willetts, the President, and the facilitation of his engaging and lively team, who conjured an event of which they can be rightly proud, and which the delegates see as the best in class and essential to return to next year.
I will be there. | – Richard J. Hawkins-Adams, Chairman & Ceo, Gravitas Global Limited
