This will be the launch event for the AIIA Media and Telco Special Interest Group. This group has been formed to bring together the converging Media and Telco industries to maximise the opportunity created by this transformation. This event will feature four industry leading panellists who will provide their views on how the convergence of Media and Telco industries will affect the Australian economy. The changes currently seeping through these two industries are profound and will not just impact Media and Telco incumbents but other industry sectors as well including Finance, Health, Education, Manufacturing and Government. It is expected that these changes will create many disruptive opportunities involving new business models, new content and service delivery methods that will further result in structural changes to the way business is conducted in Australia going forward.
Key areas for discussion at the event:
- How is the convergence of Media and Telco changing the business landscape?
- What are the opportunities that are emerging in this changing world?
- How are the next generation of start-ups benefiting?
- What trends are emerging overseas?
- How are traditional business models adapting?
- What do these changes mean for incumbents?
