Dear CC Members,
We have now approached the end of 2022, and I would like to use this opportunity to reflect on our biggest achievements of this year, as well as share a little glimpse into the upcoming year 2023.
This year we have successfully hosted 6 GCCMs, Global Awards and 5 CC-Specialized summits in various locations around the world, including London, Berlin, Lisbon, Rome, Zanzibar, Almaty, and Miami. This year, we were happy to finally go back to full speed in hosting our events and to further expand our CC-Media Services.
I am truly proud to share that in 2022 more than 4600+ international CC Members and Partners gathered live at our events. Together with my team, we have worked hard to ensure that delegates would be granted access to premium venues, quality meals, and entertaining informal networking activities such as City Tour in Miami, Island Boat Tour in Oman, Sunset Cruise in Zanzibar, multiple Evening Networking receptions.
More than 100 sponsors and exhibitors joined our events this year and I would like to thank all of them for their continuous trust and support.
I would like to say a special Thank you to all Hosts and Diamond Sponsors of this year’s events: Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier, Equinix, Sparkle, Omantel, Unicorn Communications, Expereo, Qatama Communications, China Mobile International.
I would also like to thank all our panellists and speakers who have participated in 50+ Panel Discussion sessions this year and contributed to our community by sharing their valuable industry intelligence. My team has also now created re-plays which are now available on our CC-Media Gallery.
On the CC-Media side, one of the most important highlights of this year is the launch of our new Communication and Networking platform for Telco professionals—CC Connect. The new platform has enabled our members to stay up to date with all upcoming events, media projects, and community news.
Moreover, this year we have proudly published 12 brand new GCCM Magazine issues and two Woman in Tech Magazine issues sponsored by Bankai Group and iBasis. We have also launched the premiere issue of the CEO Magazine featuring Emmanuel Rochas, CEO of Orange International Carriers on the cover page. The Magazine is dedicated to C-level leaders and executives of the telecom industry and their extraordinary professional achievements. Digital versions of all our Magazines are now available in the Magazine Gallery.
Looking ahead to 2023, I am proud to announce that we have now finalized the CC Events calendar‘23. Next year, we will be hosting 12 CC global events – 7 GCCMs and 6 specialized global summits. Our annual CC- Global Awards (CCGA) ceremony will be taking place on the 27th of June in Berlin, and we have now opened submissions for entry.
In addition to 2022 event locations, in 2023, we will be coming back to Singapore in June and Rio de Janeiro in August.
Next year, we will also be launching our new CC-Enterprise Magazine, new issues of Woman in Tech Magazine, including the new ‘’We, are in This together’’ section featuring male contributors, and will be focusing on continually expanding our Telecom Global Community via our new CC Connect platform.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in 2023 and wish you a Happy New Year,
Best Regards,
Wida Schmidt, CEO at CC
