A new information and communications technologies revolution is evolving – new models are defining product innovation and service delivery. Digital lifestyles now combine voice, packaged and spontaneous video, location- based services, sponsored relationships and close integration with the World Wide Web. There is a seamless flow between work, home and leisure.

Networks are getting faster, smarter, more secure, and more reliable. Consumers have never had it so good and service providers have never been more deeply challenged as they seek to migrate traditional business models to the emerging plethora of digital choice.

With the theme “Leading Connectivity through ICTs”, ‘CANTO 2007' will explore the technology, business and policy issues created by the accelerated and continued convergence of information and communication technologies.

Leading experts from around the world will discuss successful strategies for advanced information services, video, youth and lifestyle marketing. Policy makers will explore the options and impact of next-generation service licensing, VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and other new and emerging technologies. Vendors will also demonstrate the infrastructure platforms and consumer devices that enable the transition to future business models. Roundtable discussions will focus on the Information and Communication Technologies infrastructure in the Caribbean ; the use of ICT for Disaster Recovery and Management; and Exploiting ICT for retail and enhancing the quality of life experience.

‘CANTO 2007' will display a 86-booth exhibition that will showcase all the latest products and solutions from around the world and give delegates an opportunity to view demonstrations on the latest technological innovations.

Social activities within this event will blend the best of Barbados local culture and cuisine while providing an opportunity to network and strengthen business connection in an island where there is “never a dull moment” - Barbados

CANTO 2007 will bring together ideas, intelligence and relationships and offer an opportunity for networking and for dialogue in the context of the dynamism being experienced in the global ICT industry.

We are looking forward to welcome you at “CANTO 2007”
