With an expected attendance of over 650 delegates, the 19th annual congress will walk the delegate through the critical communication developments in Asia by region through country specific case studies, deep dive panel sessions, live polling, interviews and challenger sessions – a new addition to this year’s congress. Emma Banymandhub, event director, Critical Communications World, said:
“CCW 2017 is shaping up to be the largest and most successful World event we have ever ran in Asia. We are projecting more exhibitors and visitors than ever before and we will welcome over 120 of the industry’s leaders and experts to the Congress. “Hong Kong is a hub for Asia and beyond, so I expect to see the widest variety of delegates with whom you will have numerous networking opportunities to learn from their experiences – those that currently use analogue networks, those that use TETRA and other standard PMR networks and those that are looking for broadband solutions. This is not just an Asian event. It is a global event. As well as Asia, we will hear from speakers from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas and have the opportunity to visit an extensive exhibition of the latest critical communications equipment and applications from around the world.” Critical Communications World 2017 is presented by TCCA, in partnership with KNect365.
