Diverse & Innovative: Leading Speaker Line-Up Finalised by GVF-C21
LONDON – GVF and Century 21 Communications (C21) have announced preliminary details of the speaker line-up for the ‘Satellite & The Cloud 2020: Deployments Across the Satellite Driven Value Chain’ conference. Taking place at London’s Leonardo Royal Hotel Tower Bridge on 3rd March, the conference programme – which is supported by principal sponsor Kratos, and Corporate Sponsors Hughes and Comtech EF Data – has the objective of analysing the extent to which satellite and the Cloud is a match made, if not quite in heaven, then in GEO, MEO and LEO orbit.
LONDON – A diverse and innovative programme of speakers – together with a cross cutting group of companies representing the satellite, cloud, end-user groups and communications industries consisting of over 80 registered companies – characterises the uniqueness of the ‘Satellite & The Cloud 2020: Deployments Across the Satellite Driven Value Chain’ conference, which takes place at London’s Leonardo Royal Hotel Tower Bridge on 3rd March.
The Satellite & the Cloud conference, a new addition to the GVF-C21 events portfolio, encompasses four key themes – [1] A Satellite Operator’s Perspective… New Capabilities in Space and New Realities on the Ground; [2] View from the Ground Segment… Transforming the Ground – Challenges, Innovations and a View to the Future; [3] Enabling Environment and Associated Technologies; and [4] Embracing Opportunity… New Business Models and Financial Perspectives – and has attracted the participation of a wide sweep of organisations all of whom share a vital interest in the continuing evolution of the Cloud-based services market.
With the satellite communications industry and Cloud-based services industry each positioning to leverage the capabilities enabled by the other industry, the number and range of organisations contributing to the conference programme is revealing.
Interest in the event has been received at an unprecedented level and “free-to-attend” registrations have now been closed. Resulting from this very welcome but unexpectedly large number of delegates, and consequent on increases in catering and other costs, a registration fee is now required for anyone registering after 7th February 2020.
The conference programme is supported by principal sponsor Kratos, and Corporate Sponsors Hughes and Comtech EF Data, and has engaged the participation of the 20 organisations which feature in the speaker panels.
Attending delegates include representatives of Airbus Defence & Space; Amazon Web Services; Babcock International; BBC; bigblu; British Telecom; CNN; European Space Agency; ManSat; Marsh JLT Specialty; McKenzie Intelligence; Nethope; Network Rail; Rutherford Appleton Laboratory; Salesforce; and, SpaceX (with the full list available now).
Fee-based delegate registration for the event is still open.
