DEAR MVNO COMMUNITY MEMBER
Welcome to the 18th Annual MVNOs World Congress. This one and only
MVNOs meeting, that aims to promote the further development of the MVNO
sector by bringing together telco representatives from across the globe,
In our efforts to do just this, 2018 saw the inclusion of MVNOs in IoT
alongside the already established e-SIM Connect and Wholesale as a
Service tracks. This year, as a result of popular demand, we are
incorporating dedicated blockchain, digitalisation and value added services
streams as well. This four-day event has become a hub within where ideas
are shared, where valuable business negotiations happen and where the
latest industry announcements are made.
In combination with the extensive amount of content, we have carefully
engineered formal and informal networking features to give you every
opportunity to speak with your peers. With everything from speed
networking, VIP & Speaker Drinks and networking breaks, to the MVNOs
Awards & Party, power hours, a networking App and the infamous MVNOs
Run, you will always have something to do.
Meet senior executives, from top brands, all in one place. This global
gathering only happens once a year. If there is one event you cannot afford
to miss – it’s the one!
We look forward to welcoming you to the event in Amsterdam,
The MVNOs Team
