IFA 2023 – you can notice changes are happening. After a two-year break caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, in times of turbulent market turmoil where companies struggle to retain customers, with different organizer of the event, there are definitely fewer visitors but at the same time representation of Chinese manufacturers is significantly high. I wonder what will 100th anniversary of IFA look like next year?

https://lnkd.in/gZkXW3qz I attended MWC 2022 in Las Vegas last year. I am not sure how the second year at the same venue in Sep 2023 compares to last year. I felt TMO had their sessions filled at the exhibition show floor. There is consensus that revenue growth for 5G is in the enterprise segment. But there is no priven framework yet to systematically assess compelling enterprise use cases for 5G by industry , size and reimagine knowledge workflows. AT&T and Verizon enjoy the lion's share of the enterprise segment. TMO must be more committed to replicating their success in the consumer segment in the last decade. I wish Open RAN gains more adoption and Dish finds a way to survive and thrive by reimagining an entrepreneurial innovation ecosystem. Ericsson is betting on engaging developers to build a platform and a market place for innovative new services. Consumers expect reliable anytime anywhere broadband connectivity in unlimited data buckets for fixed monthly fee, but most don't understand the massive capital and effort needed to deliver on the expectation. As the fourth utility, CSPs face the challenges of low return on invested capital (ROIC), but potential additional regulations. Carlos A. Ramos Fabion Kauker V. Kumar

Journey by Rail to IFA Berlin: Bonds Forged and Innovations Discovered 🚂✨ The rhythmic chugging of the train melded with my bubbling anticipation as Berlin's scenic countryside blurred past the window. This wasn’t just a regular trip. I was headed to Berlin’s grand IFA, eager to personally connect with familiar producers and distributors and to uncover innovative products waiting to be revealed 🌟. Arriving at the heart of Berlin, the buzz of IFA was palpable. Everywhere I looked, there were glimpses of cutting-edge technology and genius creations. It reaffirmed my belief: Consumer electronics is far from mundane; every year, it reinvents, evolving in ways that enhance our lives, bring joy, or simply save us that precious tick of the clock ⏳🎉. Walking through the vast expanse of the event, I reconnected with old partners, and it was great to see their faces lighting up in recognition and warmth 😊. It's always a pleasure to reminisce and catch up. But the real magic lies in forging new alliances. Business, after all, thrives on relationships. And where better to cultivate them than at IFA? Each stall brought its own set of wonders. From gadgets that promised better quality of life to those that epitomized convenience, the creativity was boundless. It was a testament to the industry's commitment to making lives better and happier 😍. As the event concluded, gratitude swelled within me. To all those I met, thank you for the insightful conversations and memories forged. Until we meet again, I'm counting down to next year's IFA with bated breath! 📆👋 ________________________________________ 📣 Calling all distributors seeking exceptional brands that guarantee success!

Has the North American Spine Society meeting lost it's appeal? Although i'm still heading out to this years #NASS, it seems a lot of companies & executives are doing what they can to minimize spend. Not because budgets are tight, but because the foot fall has dropped. Dozens of companies have shifted focus to the smaller meetings like #CNS, #SMISS & #CSRS, where the ROI is significantly higher. Now NASS still has 300+ exhibitors, but I can't help but feel some of those exhibits are there only because they 'need' to be. Has NASS lost it's touch? How can it get back to it's best? Curious to get your thoughts 👇
