Can I submit a panel of speakers? Yes, but please check with them before submitting to ensure that they are available How many submissions should I make? There is no limit on the number of submissions you can make but it is important to only submit on areas of key importance to your business (as a guideline 1-5) How long are speaking slots? As a guideline, presentations are 20 minutes and panel discussions are 45

Frequently Asked Questions What if my presentation includes commercially sensitive material?The GSMA will sign non-disclosure agreements to ensure the inclusion of any commercially sensitive material that could strengthen a proposal.What are the costs involved in speaking?There is no charge to speak at our events. In fact every speaker is given a pass that enables them to attend the entire program, as well as access the exclusive speaker lounge.Does the GSMA pay for my flight and/or accommodation?Due to the unique way in which the GSMA is funded, we do not offer speakers financial support for flights and accommodation.When will I find out if my application is accepted?We make every effort to contact our successful applicants within two months of the close of the call for papers. If a speaker becomes unavailable, then a first reserve will be invited to assume the available speaker slot.

This slide shows some of our areas of responsibility including research, briefings, agenda development and the delivery of the agenda onsite. All of these processes are ongoing through the year
A very large part of the content managers responsibilities are the research behind the agendas. We maintain an enormous rolling list of over 150 topics for the two events which we then whittle down to form the two agendas. This research is ongoing as we look to identify new angles on familiar topics, engage with industry leaders and consider speakers. During this time we refer closely to the submissions from our call for papers process and also internal experts here at the GSMA
