The C5 World Forum is an education-focused conference joining together top-level executives from leading companies as they reveal opportunities and challenges raised by the emergence of next-generation ICT services and applications—as well as both mobile and fixed IP-based network architectures and the technologies that will enable them.

As network convergence begins to realistically enable the fusion of communications and IT services, there is a need to visualize this convergence, examine its progress, evaluate its potential and results, and plan for the future. The C5 World Forum programming allows attendees to involve themselves in discussions that examine the intelligence that is determining the future of convergence communications.

Special emphasis is placed on bringing together the following three key constituencies shaping the future of information communication technology:

• Network operators, service providers, and application developers
• Enterprise customers such as CTOs, CIOs, and end-user professionals
• Content providers and aggregators, corporate strategists, industry analysts, and systems integrators
