The Johannesberg Summit, sponsored by EIT ICT Labs, is a high-level, annual forum where research and thought leaders from industry and academia discuss trends and long term future issues relating to Wireless and Mobile ICT.

Interesting talks are mixed with panel discussions with a broad perspective on technologies, services, business and policy models that may have an impact in the long-range evolution of the industry. Topics are not limited to visions on wireless technologies and architectures, they also include future user behaviour and requirements, novel services and applications, new business models as well as policy and regulation.

All the session talks will be broadcasted live and are available for watching on the Johannesberg Summit website.
