There's a revolution underway in today's IP networks. Service providers around the world are using the latest technology to convert IP infrastructure into intelligent virtualized networks that save money on capital expenditure (capex) and operational expenditure (opex), and make money by enabling new content-driven services and applications.

Stephen Saunders, Founder & CEO, Light Reading and The New IP 2015 Conference Chair said, "IP networks are in the middle of a historic shift. IP is now the lingua franca of global communications networks, which means that service providers and enterprises - as well as a number of other fast-growing markets, including municipalities, utilities, healthcare and financial services - must plan their migration to 'The New IP' now. Our Summit will provide network architects and CTOs with the key information they need to formulate a successful and profitable strategy based on 'The New IP' technology."

Saunders will lead discussions on the following issues:


    --  Cyber Security
    --  Cloud Management
    --  Internet of Things
    --  Advanced Analytics
    --  Customer Experience
    --  Virtualization (NFV) & Software-Defined Networking
    --  Network Automation
    --  ROI/TCO
    --  Gigabit Cities
    --  OSS/BSS Transformation
    --  Application Dev/APIs
