WHAT’S NEW FOR 2014? A STRATEGIC EVENT: EurasiaCom provides an in-depth and transversal view of the communications ecosystem of the region. With speakers from the major telecom operators, market-leading OTT players, solutions providers, regulators, influential public and private entities and innovative content providers, this wellrounded gathering offers a unique perspective any stakeholder in the digital communications market needs to see. NEW FOCUS AREAS: As the market evolves, EurasiaCom stays ahead of the trends curve and offers cutting-edge topics ranging from business strategy and customer experience management to infrastructure developments, data content and mobile applications. This year we are taking a close look at market-changing areas and opportunities including LTE, cloud services, digital content, infrasturucture sharing, mobile broadband and the second annual AppGig.

EURASIACOM PUTS NEW-AGE COMMUNICATIONS PLAYERS AT THE HEART OF THE DEBATE... The challenges of doing business in telecoms and ICT these days are many and complex – add to these the disparity of the Eurasian markets and you are faced with a situation not for the faint-hearted. That said, there are significant rewards and profits to be reaped by those intrepid enough to take the lead and spearhead innovation in the digital sector. As elsewhere across the globe, the current trend in communications is in a shift from voice to data and operators and service providers are having to rethink their business models while staving off fierce competition from cutting-edge new-age companies. At EurasiaCom 2014 you will hear from the leading mobile and fixedline operators and ISPs in the region, as well as local and international OTT players and content providers, vendors, regulators and other stakeholders. Encompassing Russia, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, CIS and Turkey, this really is the key event to be at to glimpse what’s round the corner in the coms sector. Take a look at the brand new agenda and join in the discussions shaping your world. On behalf of the EurasiaCom team, it will be our pleasure to welcome you.

HIGH-CALIBRE PARTNERS: This year we are honoured to be working with the likes of MegaLabs, Garanti Bank, RuRu, D-Smart and TRT to mention but a few. Take a look at the full programme and discover the powerful insight these spearheading players will be sharing at EurasiaCom. NETWORKING AND BUSINESS GENERATION: As well as our powerful speed networking sessions, you can also connect with the industry via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube in the run-up to EurasiaCom, throughout it, and afterwards as well. Our creative sponsorship packages also provide a flexible solution so that all stakeholders across the Eurasian region’s fast-evolving digital communications space can get involved. With all this and more, can you afford to not be at EurasiaCom 2014?

DATA: The key revenue growth driver in Eastern Europe… Today mobile broadband subscriptions in Eastern Europe account for 24% of total subscriptions which indicates that there is a sufficient room for growth. The state of mobile broadband development varies with some markets still deploying 3G networks, while others making first steps in LTE rollout. Spectrum availability remains one of the key challenges in mobile broadband rollout. LTE net additions in Eastern Europe continue to be relatively low, compared to Western Europe. While in Western Europe LTE subscriptions grew almost sixfold within a year, reaching more than 6.6 million in 3Q13, in Eastern Europe LTE subscriptions increased two and a half times to 1.5 million. Despite the certain challenges, the demand for data services grows and as devices, especially smartphones become more affordable and mobile broadband coverage in Eastern Europe expands data revenues will continue to increase. Informa estimates that data revenues will reach USD 31.3 million by 2018. Eastern Europe: Data revenue forecast, USDm
