Great Success of the NGMN Industry Conference & Exhibition 2012

The NGMN Industry Conference & Exhibition 2012 in San Francisco proved again to be a unique platform for the mobile industry! Taking place for the first time in the USA, attendees enjoyed an outstanding line-up of speakers and panellists.
The conference provided an in-depth update on the latest status of mobile broadband deployment and operations, upcoming network and device trends and on technology and service innovations. Presentations on the NGMN projects played an essential role in the programme and delivered insights on how to address the current major industry challenges.

We thank all participants, speakers, partners and sponsors who made the NGMN Industry Conference & Exhibition 2012 such a great success!

More than 350 people joined us to explore the latest status of mobile broadband deployment and operations, to review the upcoming network and device trends and to embrace technology and service innovations from Silicon Valley.

At a superb venue, right in the heart of San Francisco (City View at Metreon Yerba Buena Gardens), the conference was complemented with an exhibition floor showcasing the most advanced mobile broadband technology solutions.

Prominent key note speakers and executives from world's leading operators and vendors shared insights while start-up companies conveyed visions and business models on innovations. Discussions throughout the event were dynamic and rewarding.
