Future Network and MobileSummit 2011 takes place in the Historical City of Warsaw, Poland, 15 - 17 June 2011. This is the twentieth in a series of Annual Conferences supported by the European Commission, which regularly attracts over 600 delegates from industry and research to share experiences and research results, identify future trends, discuss business opportunities and identify opportunities for international research collaboration under the ICT Theme of Framework Programme 7 (FP7). It will thus contribute to showcasing European research in the field, and position it within the multiplicity of related initiatives supported in other regions of the world.
In the context of convergence, the 20th Future Network and MobileSummit will address the challenges of building the Future Internet, based on mobile, wireless and fixed broadband communications infrastructures.
