The
Eleventh STEM User Group Meeting will be held on 20–21 September in Cambridge, UK.
The formal sessions and the ever-popular Gala Dinner will all be based in the timeless
surroundings of Clare College, which also offers overnight accommodation. A limited
number of en suite rooms are available for early registrants on a strictly first-come,
first-served basis.
Learn more about STEM from its commercial users
The STEM User Group Meeting is a unique opportunity to learn about the activities
of other STEM users from around the world, and to discuss best practice in business
modelling for networks. Last year’s event attracted 40 operator and vendor clients
from four continents and featured a range of Analysys and guest presentations which
covered topics including service-profitability analysis and planning models for
NGN and HSDPA.
The 2006 event will match the interests of existing and prospective users more effectively
by introducing parallel tracks for experts and novices in selected sessions. Master
classes for established clients will run alongside fast-track training sessions
for newcomers.
Guest
presentations on a range of service and technology topics will still take centre
stage, but a more consistent format will be adopted by the speakers in order to
keep the proceedings clear and evenly-paced. The super-technical details will be
deferred to one of the expert tracks towards the end of the conference.
The event will showcase a number of models built by Analysys, including a look at
market dynamics and even a business case for STEM itself, and will feature an interactive
exercise demonstrating the typical whiteboard-to-STEM process we promote in our
regular training workshops.
Finally, and in response to feedback from last year’s participants, we will allow
more time for a look at the latest new features in STEM 7.1, and have a discussion
session where we will take requests for future development directions.
As always, delegates will be able to enjoy the close dialogue with our consultants
and developers which enables us to maintain STEM’s relevance to their continually
varying requirements.
Provisional agenda
The following agenda shows our vision for the 2006 STEM User Group Meeting. The
exact content will crystallise as delegates and guest presenters are confirmed and
we act to incorporate feedback on the latest market and technical developments.
