Fireside Chat - The Future of Convergence: Matching Experience with Brand
Thursday October 10, 2024 2:20pm - 2:40pm EDT
Woodrow Wilson B
- Converged services has been a vital tool for providers over the past several years, allowing operators of all sizes to rapidly release new offerings and enter new markets.

- As operators continue to evolve their offerings to meet consumer demands and claim market share, it is critical that they assess how convergence should impact and feel for these end-users; if your solution has two bills, two systems
and two support teams, it isn’t truly converged.

- In this fireside chat Wavelo’s CEO, Justin Reilly, and industry expert, John Puskar, will discuss the next frontier of converged services, what convergence really means, and how operators can ensure that white labeled services not
only look like brand-owned assets, but that they feel and act like their brand too.
