A unique market where timing and decision making will define the winners. MENA is the fastest growing market for both mobile and fixed telephony in the world.

Testimonials

This is the best event I have been to – without exception. I know plenty of people in the telecoms industry but you have put me in touch with executives that would take us months to find. We have a fantastic product and we need to meet as many decision makers as possible, quickly, before the competition gets there. I want to sponsor future events and I want to be in your magazines.

Peter Sobotka, CEO, Corinex

Again a very fruitful event – decision makers meet the decision makers.

Roland Kohler, VP Sales, Reichle and De Massari

90% of my meetings were successful – I wouldn’t hesitate to attend NGT events in the future and would strongly recommend it to other executives.

Mostafa Younes, CTO, Bravo

Your ideas are great – I congratulate you on the format, congratulations to the team of organisers, you have done a great job.

Elias C Haddad, ESIB

NGT get a 9.5 out of 10. I have been to GSM and got luke warm leads but at NGT I got 8 hot leads with some real business opportunities. We will be back.

James Mullins, VP EMEA Sales & Services, Narus

The Summit was well organized and provided an excellent return on investment. We had high level meetings with senior IT executives in our targeted vertical who grasped our solution concepts and were able to see how they would apply through their organizations. The forum provided a relaxed, intimate environment for in-depth, meaningful discussions. We expect to close new business initiated at this event!

David Stuart, Vice President Marketing, Optinuity

This event has been very useful for us to deal directly with suppliers with the solutions to improve our company development.

Salman Nasser, CTO, Nuetel

The face-to-face meetings were the most useful part of the event.

Amanj Ali, CTO, Asiacell

A very useful summit for meeting vendors and operators with different experiences and different approaches in solving problems that service providers are facing.

Omar Shihab, CTO, Teleyemen

It’s a company policy not to attend events but what convinced me that this was different was the level of senior management confirmed and the fact that we, as the delegation, had direct input into the content of the program. This is a unique format and it worked extremely well. I look forward to working with the NGT Summit team again.

Hendrik Forsgren, CIO, Tele 2

Very good conference, very dynamic and very good attendance from senior people with real investment projects!

Normand Tremblay, SVP Sales, Thomson-Cirpack, France

Thank you very much for the way you manage the event. It was very good and productive from my point of view.

Gabriel Ionita, Technical Director, Dial Telecom

The event was very informative and fruitful – I have learnt about new features and services we can provide as a GSM operator.

Loukman Ameen, CTO, Korek Telecom

What surprised me was the value that I got from the one on one meetings with vendors. I came to network with my peers but a few new relationships were surprising. I can be pretty tough to reach at the office and that can sometimes work against me …

Georg Benzer, CIO, Arcor, Germany

What stands out from this event was the quality of the speakers chosen to moderate the round tables. I like working with genuine facilitators who can open people up and keep the discussion moving.

Marco Visser, CEO, KPN Mobile, Netherlands

The concept is far better for networking than traditional industry seminars.

Harry Jarn, NSN

I really liked the concept of the meetings – as you can be open and flexible in the exchange of thoughts.

Albert Schmider, VP Global Marketing, NSN

This was a wonderful experience to meet new suppliers and telecom operators.

Sewhumar Dhooman, CEO, Mauritius Telecom

Within the 30 minutes I spent with one delegate I got 6 to 12 months of business secured on a national trial roll out program that will more than generate a ROI for my company attending this Summit.

Cameron McCaskill, VP Business Development, Intellon Corporation

The quality of the meetings was excellent.

Mohammed Garbouj, CEO, Divona Telecom
