Since 1989 the ICIN conferences have been bringing together leading internet and telecom experts from industry, universities and government worldwide. ICIN operates on a rigorous peer review process and has an enviable track record of identifying key technology and service trends – and analysing their impact on business models – before they become widely recognised.

ICIN conferences cover both technology and business issues. They typically feature one day of tutorials followed by a three day programme in which delegates can select state-of-the-art presentations by worldwide leading industry experts. ICIN is well-known for thought-provoking presentations of the highest quality on emerging technology, architecture, and industry trends impacting intelligent communications services.
