A GVF Satellite Summit will be held on September 18th from 2.15 – 4.30 p.m. in conjunction with VSAT 2009 at the Waldorf Hilton in London. During the Summit, industry leaders will provide updates on key opportunities, including two global initiatives that have a major impact on the satellite business today:

Tapping the ‘CSR’ Market:  Billions of Euros are spent worldwide each year by enterprises seeking to fulfill Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) obligations. In many cases — and particularly in the oil, gas, mining, and pharmaceutical sectors — those enterprises are contractually requiredto spend large sums to support tele-centres, e-government, education, and other local services. The GVF Satellite Summit will reveal what is being done to expand our industry’s role in this lucrative market.

Certification, Cost Reduction & ‘Mindshare’:  The satellite industry has become a victim of its own success. As satellite deregulation and market penetration have increased, interference levels have skyrocketed, resulting in degraded quality of service, increased operational costs, and higher rates of customer churn. In collaboration with leading VSAT manufacturers, operators, and satcom customers, GVF will show how VSAT Installation Certification is being applied to improve our industry’s competitiveness… and to win business through effective branding.

  Admission to the Summit is provided on a complimentary basis, but seating will be limited so please RSVP to [email protected] to assure representation for your company.
