WiTT is very pleased to pass on the following message from Candace Johnson and Bridget Cosgrave of GTWN, the Global Telecoms Women’s Network, regarding speaking opportunities at the 2013 Mobile World Congress:
“It is with great pleasure that we are sending below to each of you the ‘Call for Speakers/Papers for the 2013 Mobile World Congress’ we received from John Hoffman of the GSMA.
We very much hope that each of you will respond to this important call for speakers/papers with a suggestion from your part.
Anne Bouverot, the GSMA CEO and Member of the Board who was our guest of honor and speaker at the 20th Anniversary Gala in Barcelona this last February had promised that she would do her utmost to make certain that there were more women speakers and panelists at the MWC and she is holding to her promise with this email.
Let each one of us do everything we can to try and submit a paper to speak.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were more women speakers than men speakers at the MWC 2013?
Let us make it happen ! Submit a paper yourself, suggest that a (femaie) colleague also submit a paper. Let us change the face of the MWC!
With kindest regards,
Bridget Cosgrave and Candace Johnson
