LONDON: The GSMA and the Metro Atlanta Chamber on Aug 30 announced that more than 30 speakers are confirmed for the GSMA Mobility Live! North America conference being held in Atlanta, 1-2 November 2016.

The conference programme will bring together leading executives from the mobile industry and beyond, including representatives from AT&T, Cisco, Coca-Cola, Facebook, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Intel, Intercontinental Hotels, Syniverse, Vodafone, VMware and Worldpay.

The event is a collaboration between the GSMA and the Metro Atlanta Chamber, merging the previously separate Mobile 360 North America and Mobility LIVE! events.

The combined event will provide a dynamic forum to explore the trends and issues shaping the mobile world both in the greater Atlanta area and across North America.

The two-day conference will address topics such as 5G, cyber security, digital health, FinTech, the Internet of Things and smart cities, among many others.

The GSMA is delighted to be returning to Atlanta for a third consecutive year with a significantly expanded show in partnership with the Metro Atlanta Chamber, said Michael O Hara, Chief Marketing Officer at the GSMA.

The North America region is at the forefront of mobile innovation and this is reflected in our world-class speaker line-up, which features thought leaders from across the mobile ecosystem and from vertical sectors including automotive, consumer goods, leisure and sports.

We’re thrilled to welcome the newly combined GSMA Mobility Live! North America to Atlanta for a bigger conference with more event features, said Hala Moddelmog, president and CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber.

As the #1 mobile-friendly city in the US, a world leader in mobile payments, and a #3 metro area for mobile performance, our region is excited to host more than a thousand mobility professionals expected to attend this year’s event.—AP
