How the Collaborative Workplace Creates a Drive for New Services

Join Your Peers from Service Providers & Technology Partners
to Explore, Learn, and Strategize for Growth!

The Wainhouse Research CSP Summit brings together collaboration & conferencing service providers, their technology partners, and Wainhouse Research (WR) analysts to connect, explore, and understand the rapidly changing market. The event is presented by the collaboration and conferencing experts at WR and is focused exclusively on addressing the needs of CSPs.

Now in its 8th year, Wainhouse Research's annual CSP Summit will focus on how fundamental changes in the way people work and interact drive new demand for more services.

This year's theme, “How the Collaborative Workplace Creates a Drive for New Services”,
will explore the following topics:

Recent organizational, economic, and technology developments and how they are driving the use of more collaboration services Integration of conferencing, communications, and messaging and what this means to providers Positioning your services to win as conferencing services run headlong into Unified Communications New business models (hosted, managed, hybrid) that are disrupting the status quo, yet creating new opportunities How the delivery of services is changing to meet the realities of the new market Setting strategies to realize the emerging market for new event services Driving new business through next generation platforms
All of these issues are relevant to both incumbent and emerging service providers, and will be explored in-depth by WR analysts who are experts in hosted and managed services, and other industry professionals.

The discussions and presentations are highly interactive between speakers and the audience and focus on practical strategies to drive adoption and growth. This represents an unprecedented opportunity to network with your peers and industry experts during session, breaks, lunch, and a cocktail reception following the event. In attendance will be key decision-makers from network service providers and pure-play independent CSPs, all of whom are responsible for setting strategy, purchasing, supporting, and upgrading significant communication system.
About Wainhouse Research CSP Summits:

In the last eight years the Boston CSP Summit (October) has become established as the event for CSPs and partners to meet, exchange ideas, form new relationships, and learn about the latest developments and trends. For the second year in a row, we are bringing the same format to Europe in a half-day, pre-Collaboration Summit format. The event is limited to an intimate group of service providers and solution partners in a focused forum to discuss effective strategies to integrate new technologies, develop creative new services, and grow the overall industry.

In prior years a healthy combination of representatives from large established network operators and carriers, independents, and start up providers have provided a lively and interactive gathering.
