Two Full Days
Talk Satellite and CommsDay
will once again convene the
highly successful
Australasia Satellite Forum
2016. A gathering of world
and domestic satellite
leaders will converge on
Sydney for this now TWO Full
Day event on the 17 & 18 May
2016 at the Westin Hotel,
Sydney, Australia. The aim
is to identify and initiate
needed dialogue for the
development of Satellite as
a primary delivery mechanism
for universal service
purposes. The Australasia
Satellite Forum, will
provide a uniquely inclusive
forum to address issues of
urgent concern to
governments, military,
enterprise, and end user
entities. Last years event
received rave reviews,
proving once again that the
Australasia Satellite Forum
is the major business
networking hub for the
region.
Expo
The Australasia Satellite
Forum continues to grow year
on year and it is therefore
important to develop the
event in line with market
demand. The addition of the
Expo area was a tremendous
success during our 2015
event, and again this year
we have received numerous
requests for exhibition
booths to enable companies
to show their products and
services in a more visible
environment. In response we
shall open up a further
ballroom adjacent to the
Forum where exhibition
booths will be available for
booking. This will attract
further visitors from the
value chain that appreciate
the trade show experience to
conduct their business
requirements.
