Egypt's Sharm El-Sheikh to Host ITU-GSR Event

Egypt's Sharm El-Sheikh will host Global Symposium for Regulators (GSR), held by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), from 5 to 8 June this year.

The event will bring together 700 telecom regulators, industry leaders, policy-makers and other key ICT stakeholders from 70 countries to engage in a global dynamic dialogue and exchange views and expertise regarding the most significant ICT regulatory issues worldwide.

GSR also represents a neutral platform for the members of the Telecommunication Development Sector to share their views with respect to the key issues faced by the ICT sector, whereas it will conclude with the adoption by regulators of a set of regulatory best practice guidelines.

Moreover, it offers unique networking opportunities in the lead up to and during the event through an online interactive networking platform to set up appointments using a tablet or a smartphone.

Additionally, GSR’s proceedings will encompass a series of thematic events, the Industry Advisory Group for Development Issues and Private Sector Chief Regulatory Officers’ (IAGDI-CRO) meeting, the Regulatory Associations’ meeting and the Heads of Regulators Executives’ Roundtable.
