8:30am Registration and networking breakfast

9:25am MORNING CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME ADDRESS

MARKET CONSOLIDATION

9:30am CEO INTERVIEWS: MOVING AWAY FROM CONSOLIDATION: WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS IN THE CARIBBEAN?

Over the last few years there has been a period of significant consolidation throughout the Caribbean market with huge deals including Cable and Wireless’ acquisition of Columbus, AT&T aquiring DirecTV and Liberty Global’s recent announcement regarding its potential aquisition of CWC. Join the high profile debate and find out:

� What have been the most significant impacts of recent M&As and what is to be expected in the next five years? � What are carriers doing to maintain competition within the market? � What is being done to ensure that the Caribbean doesn’t become dominated by a monopoly?

10:30am Morning coffee and networking break

SPOTLIGHT ON CUBA AND PUERTO RICO

11:30am CUBA: UNLOCKING INVESTMENT POTENTIAL IN A RECENTLY OPENED MARKET 2014 brought an end to the 50+ year embargo held by the US on Cuba. This has given international telecoms companies the opportunity to invest

in one of the last closed markets in the world. As all eyes are currently on Cuba, hear from those working within the country about what steps need to be taken to bring Cuba up to speed with the rest of the region.

11:45am AN INSIGHT INTO THE PUERTO RICAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY Puerto Rico is unique due in part to being a US territory, and for its rapid developments within telecoms. However, Puerto Rico has recently

experienced challenges including an economic downturn. Despite this, the nation’s telecoms companies are actively working towards ensuring that the same level of connectivity is found throughout the island. Find out more about developments within one of the Caribbean and Latin America’s most advanced telecoms markets.

FUTURE DATA CENTRE DEVELOPMENTS

12:00pm PANEL DISCUSSION: LOOKING AT THE GROWTH IN DATA CENTRES: ARE WE MOVING TOWARDS MORE DATA LOCALISATION?

Traditionally, traffic from the Caribbean has always gone through the US. However, in recent years there has been a significant shift towards more data being housed locally. With new alternatives being considered, will the Caribbean market become more self-dependent?

� Looking at the development of IXPs throughout the Caribbean and what this indicates about the market as a whole � With an increase in the virtualisation of services, will this lead to a higher demand of data centres? � As carriers continue to invest in building their own data centres, what role will this play in the development of emerging technologies such as

cloud and IoT? � As not all islands throughout the Caribbean are equipped with the infrastructure to store data, how are carriers ensuring that this data is

always accessible?

1:00pm Networking lunch

2:10pm AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME ADDRESS

SUBMARINE AND TERRESTRIAL INFRASTRUCTURAL PROJECTS

2:15pm THINK TANK: INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENTS: IS THE REGION ONE STEP CLOSER TO MEETING THE DEMAND FOR CAPACITY?

With the completion of the PCCS cable and with new projects being considered to increase broadband capacity between the Caribbean islands, the US and Latin America, find out what infrastructural investments are being considered.

� How will the launch of the PCCS cable impact the Caribbean market? � Has there been a shift towards companies beginning to own and run their own cables? � Should carriers monetise the infrastructure they already have rather than build new projects?

3:00pm Afternoon coffee and networking

4:00pm OUTDOOR ANALYST CLINIC: FUTURE TRENDS IN THE CARIBBEAN TELECOMS MARKET As technology advances globally, smaller markets notoriously fall behind. With more 4G licenses being made available and carriers increasingly

integrating IoT and cloud computing into their business models, what lies ahead for mobile telephony, fixed lines and broadband uptake? New for 2015, join leading analysts in a relaxed setting surrounding the beautiful beaches of Puerto Rico.

MOBILE BROADBAND

9:30am KEYNOTE PANEL DISCUSSION: CONNECTING ISLANDS: ENSURING ACCESS TO MOBILE BROADBAND IN THE CARIBBEAN

With discussion moving towards auctions for Cuba’s mobile broadband spectrum and the deployment of LTE/4G across the Caribbean, what are operators doing to encourage mobile broadband penetration?

�With only 10% of the Caribbean having access to LTE, what strategies are operators implementing to meet growing demands for 4G penetration? �What are operators doing to ensure the networks are offered at an affordable price? �As a tourist destination, how are operators guaranteeing that people are always connected wherever they are? �Is the Caribbean market prepared for the introduction of 5G? How are they getting ready?

10:30am Morning coffee and networking

REGULATORY UPDATES

11:30am PANEL DISCUSSION: DEFINING THE ROLE OF THE REGULATOR IN A MATURING MARKET While the market continues to mature, carriers look towards regulators to determine the role they will play and how they can continue to promote

collaboration and growth within an ever-changing industry. However, there is still a long way to go with regulation varying from island to island and a clear definition needs to be made as to the role regulators will play in tomorrow’s changing market.

�What is the regulators role in ensuring that competition is not only upheld in the Caribbean but also promoted? �Are we moving towards more or less regulation as the market matures? �With traffic being illegally terminated in much of the region, what are regulators doing to deal with this matter?
