Digital Leadership Summit: 5G changing the game: Giving CSPs the power to move beyond connectivity in partnership with CSG America
The deployment of 5G opens opportunities for communication service providers (CSPs) to move beyond connectivity, offer new services for their customers, and grow their businesses. However, realizing these opportunities at scale requires frictionless partnerships and the ability to bring new products and services to market faster.
This Summit will examine how 5G impacts the connectivity landscape, and the opportunities that are presented for CSPs to grow their business through next-generation connectivity, platform plays, and end-to-end solutions delivered through third-party services and partnerships.
Join this virtual session to explore how CSPs will enable ubiquitous customer experiences and meet the expectations of a zero-touch customer and partner journey.
This is an invitation-only event. If you are interested in attending, please contact Eleni Vrettou and fill out the required information in the email. Space is limited.
