With just five weeks to go to the TowerXchange Meetup Americas 2014, the LatAm telecom tower industry is preparing for it’s first ever dedicated live event, gathering the CEOs and Presidents of twenty towercos under one roof.

The LatAm telecom tower industry on stage

As the industry progresses and develops into a more mature stage, key companies such as AMT, SBA, Crown Castle, Telefonica, Digicel, Iusacell, Grupo TorreSur and more, active in the transformation of the regional telecom sector are confirming attendance in what is expected to be the most comprehensive industry-related event of the year.

Tower sale and leaseback transactions, build-to-suit projects, licenses auctions and 4G LTE network rollouts are making the headlines regionally and internationally and Inside Towers is a proud to partner with TowerXchange to bring together the key stakeholders at this unique Meetup. Unlike normal conferences that feature a succession of uninsightful powerpoint presentations, TowerXchange Meetups use C-level panel debates and small group round table networking to provide a unique insight into opportunities in emerging market towers.

The TowerXchange Meetup Americas will take place in co-location with PCIA Wireless Infrastructure Show, 20-22 May, in Orlando, Florida. Here is an exclusive sneak-peak of the keynote panels attendees will be exposed to at the Meetup:

Tuesday, May 20 | 9:40 Mobile network operator decision makers panel
• Pat Casey, Group Human Resources Director, Digicel
• Edgar Geidans, Group CTO, Trilogy International Partners
• Eduardo Ramirez Palomeque, Infrastructure Director, Iusacell

Pat, Edgar and Eduardo will be discussing three different aspects related to key strategic and operational challenges faced by carriers active in Latin America. From the human capital issue to 4G LTE network implementation and tower portfolio management, the panel is an unmissable opportunity to get a comprehensive overview of what carriers are actively working on at the moment.

Do not miss this opportunity to network with LatAm and African tower industry leaders and to define opportunities for your company. With three days packed with networking and knowledge sharing opportunities, the Meetup Americas is a must-attend event for anyone involved in the emerging market telecom tower industry.
