The Arab Advisors Group is pleased to announce an impressive and diverse array of sponsors for the 5th Media and Telecoms Convergence Conference to be held in Amman on June 2&3 2008. Zain Group is the Main Sponsor of the conference; which is also sponsored by Jawwal, ESKADENIA Software, Globitel, Qualcomm, Signal, Ericsson, Orange, Greenpacket Networks, and Optimiza (Sponsors will have exhibiting spaces at the conference). The support of these regional and global companies underpins the success of this annual conference.

The convergence of media, telecom and information technology pushes the hitherto disconnected players in the three sectors towards operating in an increasingly merged segment. This convergence carries threats to existing revenue and business models, but also bears new opportunities for new models.

Under the patronage of HE the minister of ICT in Jordan, Arab Advisors Group’s Fifth Media and Telecoms Convergence Conference 2008 is the ideal forum for networking, discussions and debates on the convergence trends underway in the Arab media and telecom markets. With close to 40 speakers and over 450 delegates, the conference is the focal point of the Arab World’s telecom and media industries decision makers and leaders.
