RCS Seminars and Conferences

Speakers from companies representing all aspects of the RCS Project (Operators, Handset and Infrastructure Vendors, Application Developers and the GSMA itself) regularly contribute at International Conferences and Seminars. These events are probably the best opportunity to hear the latest RCS News and for your opportunity to talk directly with representatives from key RCS players.

A main conference stream on the first day - Wednesday 18th November, starting at 15:45 - will probe the premise that rich communication is all about stickiness, but how can it be monetised? Other questions will address the business case for RC services and what benefits will they bring for operators. The session will give a review of the core services that rich communications includes, give the latest updates on interoperability testing and also present interactive discussions concerning the roadmap and future plans of operators.

Other exposure to RCS will include examples of the very latest RCS client ideas and innovations from the RCS DevChallenge contest demonstrated live in the exciting new App Planet ‘event within an event’. Details of this and other RCS related activity will be announced towards the end of November 2009.
