9.30am KEYNOTE PANEL WHOLESALE SMS AND MESSAGING LANDSCAPE: TECHNOLOGIES, SERVICES, MARKETS AND LEGISLATION

SMS looks set to remain the medium of choice for customer communication for a whole host of businesses, but the key players ignore the rise of OTT and other messaging applications at their peril. Our panel brings together global organisations within the SMS and messaging community to debate key trends, market sectors and the impact of emerging technologies and new players.

• The drivers, restraints and opportunities in the P2P and A2P messaging markets – what are the new applications for these segments and what is their capacity for growth?

• Analysing the impact of new messaging technologies: understanding the implications for SMS wholesalers, aggregators and MNOs

• Forecasting the take up of new services across market sectors: what does the evolution of messaging mean for SMS and OTT players

• Two way messaging, privacy and identity – a growth area for SMS?

10.15am EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE: OPERATOR MONETISATION STRATEGIES: UNLOCKING SMS REVENUES

This executive, interactive session is your opportunity to gain a comprehensive insight into how mobile operators can further monetise messaging revenues to compete more effectively with the OTT market. A key topic for discussion will be the elasticity of price for SMS, and how MNO’s can balance monetisation whilst driving maximum demand. The session will feature experts from a variety of players to debate developments in SMS for MNOs in terms of revenue generation and competitive advantage.

11.15am Morning coffee break and dedicated networking

11:45am ANALYST PRESENTATION FRAUD AND COMPLIANCE: THE CURRENT SCOPE OF FRAUD IN THE WHOLESALE SMS MARKET - WHAT, WHERE AND WHO?

SMS fraud is both a perennial and growing problem for the entire value chain. As the market evolves so does fraud. We ask what types of fraud are growing, what problems are they creating and how can organisations prepare for them? What is happening in emerging markets and what does this mean for international business? How is the community, signalling providers and mobile operators reacting to the problem and what developments in international compliance can both help and hinder the market?

12:15pm INNOVATION STATION SMS ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITIES: SMARTER MESSAGING

9.30am KEYNOTE PANEL THE SHIFTING VALUE CHAIN AND NEW BUSINESS MODELS: THE WINNERS AND THE LOSERS IN THE MESSAGING ECOSYSTEM

New disruptive technologies, OTT players and a rapidly changing wholesale SMS ecosystem mean that the value chain is shifting and with it new business models must be deployed. The impact of changes in the value chain are ongoing and cannot be underestimated. We bring together representatives to discuss what changes in the market mean for them, where they see the market heading and how to gain and retain market share and unlock revenues.

10:45am Morning coffee and dedicated networking

11:15am EXECUTIVE INTERVIEWS: THE ENTERPRISE PERSPECTIVE HOW WILL THE CUSTOMER OF THE FUTURE SHAPE THE WHOLESALE SMS INDUSTRY?

SMS is likely to remain as the de facto standard of communication whether it is for social or business use and the application-to-person (A2P) market provides huge opportunity for players with the market expected to grow to £97.36 billion by 2016. With opportunities such as mobile marketing and two way messaging this market cannot be underestimated. How does a leading enterprise see the SMS market developing in terms of customer communication, loyalty and experience and what future messaging technologies will they adopt?

11:45am MARKET ANALYSIS EVOLUTION AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MOBILE MESSAGING MARKET

With the P2P market in decline across Europe and Western nations, many players are looking to new markets, technologies and regions for yet untapped revenues. This session offers a deep dive insight into both P2P and A2P markets arming delegates with knowledge on market size, players, legislation, drivers and barriers to entry.
