TADSummit EMEA Americas agenda is focused on fair, frank, and independent advice / education for the rest of us in programmable communications / telecoms who are not wrapped up in the BABS (Bay Area BS) machine 🙂

Thank you to all the presenters as well as our sponsors: Automat Berlin, GoContact, Radisys, and Sangoma for making TADSummit EMEA / Americas possible.

We’ll have world-class keynotes, real-world industry status and strategy, open source thought leadership, innovator interviews, insightful case studies, and some TeleTalks from TeleSign. People come back to our content year over year, check out this video from Matthew Hodgson on Matrix from 2015 that has been viewed 4500+ times. It may not be 3.77 billion views like Psy Gangham Style. But it’s respectable for a niche event in programmable communications.

We ran our first TADSummit in 2013 in Bangkok. Back then there was a growing body of innovators (e.g. CPaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS providers), telcos, alternative network providers, developers, open source leaders, API companies, and enterprise focused service providers, learning how to make money from the application of CXTech.

What is CXTech? The C stands for Connectivity, Communications, Collaboration, Conversation, Customer; X for Experience because that’s what matters; and Tech because the focus is enablers. Think of CXTech as the democratization of telecoms, and the term can be used interchangeably with programmable telecoms / communications.

After the success of TADSummit Asia 2020 in May 2020 we decided to run TADSummit EMEA / Americas online to avoid taking any risks while we wait for the COVID-19 vaccine. We may not have the full networking experience and the enjoyment of spending a couple of days together. But we can share the latest thinking to place a collective milestone marker in the development of programmable communications. TADSummit Asia 2020 achieved 2.4k views of the videos through the event, one video got to 280+ views, many 80-100, several 100+, e.g. Dave Horton’s presentation on Jambonz received 155 views. Which is good for our niche.

Through Nov, each day we release a new presentation. It’s the focus of our social media for that day. When you have time through the day, have a look, if the presentation is interesting watch it and please ask the presenter questions either in the comments or directly via email. If it’s not interesting, tomorrow’s could be more relevant. Have a busy week? No worries, catch up on the weekend what you missed. We’re not pretending online is the same as in-person, no silly contrived ‘virtual’ experiences. We recognize online needs to fit into your schedule, as when you’re in the (home) office, your business comes first.

We still have another 10 presentations to add to the agenda. Yes, I know November only has 30 days, we may release 2 sessions on some of the days.

Keep an eye open through the month of November for posts from me or TADSummit on Twitter and Linkedin. Else bookmark and go to the TADSummit EMEA Americas Agenda through the month that will have all the current content.
