Improving the Caribbean’s ability to access connectivity and data will take centre stage at CANTO’s 38th annual trade exhibition and conference in Miami, Florida from July 16 to 20.
C&W Communications, operators of Flow, Flow Business, C&W Business, and BTC, has renewed its commitment to serve as headline sponsor, which the company has done consecutively since 2019.
The annual event brings together regional heads of state and government, along with regulators, telecom operators, and other key stakeholders to network, build alliances, review policy, and share best practices as it relates to the regional telecoms sector.
The 2023 conference will be held under the theme of “Fostering a Resilient Datasphere for All” and will advocate for more inclusive policy frameworks within the region’s digital ecosystem that will help to drive growth and innovation, promote safe universal connectivity and a secure and resilient Datasphere.
The backdrop for the four-day event will be the JW Marriot Turnberry Resort and Spa, one of South Florida’s premiere destinations.
