Since 1989 the ICIN series of conferences has been bringing together leading telecom and internet experts from industry, universities and government worldwide. ICIN operates on a rigorous peer review process and has become the established industry forum for addressing intelligence in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). ICIN conferences are renowned for their debates on the impact of emerging technology, architecture and industry trends on intelligent communications services. ICIN has an enviable track record of identifying key technology and service trends – and analysing their impact on business models – before they become widely recognized.

The focus of ICIN 2008 is on supporting business models for a new open world. The aim is to bring together visionary ideas and perspectives on the application of intelligence in web and network technologies. ICIN is the ideal industry forum to explore the interplay between web and telecom technologies, services and players. ICIN 2008 will highlight future services, enablers and architectures that capitalize on the transition to an IP environment and lead to enhanced user expectations and experiences.

ICIN 2008 will include keynote presentations from industry leaders, providing insights into strategic thinking within the communications industry, as well as panel sessions providing the opportunity for interactive debate with invited experts. The conference will be preceded by a day dedicated to tutorials and workshops given by leading authorities to introduce delegates to key technical issues.
