There's a revolution underway in today's IP networks.

Stephen Saunders, Founder & CEO, Light Reading and The New IP 2015 Conference Chair said, "IP networks are in the middle of a historic shift. IP is now the lingua franca of global communications networks, which means that service providers and enterprises – as well as a number of other fast-growing markets, including municipalities, utilities, healthcare and financial services – must plan their migration to 'The New IP' now. Our Summit will provide network architects and CTOs with the key information they need to formulate a successful and profitable strategy based on 'The New IP' technology."

Saunders will lead discussions on the following issues:

• Cyber Security
• Cloud Management
• Internet of Things
• Advanced Analytics
• Customer Experience
• Virtualization (NFV) & Software-Defined Networking
• Network Automation
• ROI/TCO
• Gigabit Cities
• OSS/BSS Transformation
• Application Dev/APIs
