FEATURED MEETING :
STANDARDIZATION:
UNIFIER OR DIVIDER?
December 5 - 7, Sutton Place Hotel
Vancouver, B.C
Standardization can be used to unify - or divide - people, markets, nations, and technologies at every level. Join world experts at a free conference to explore how standardization can create economic, technical, and social benefits for all.
This interactive conference will examine how standardization can and is being employed to influence global and local markets from the perspectives of industry, nations, geopolitical regions, and groups and classes of people. Speakers from the public and private sectors in a number of countries will interact with the audience to discuss:
- What is open information and communications technology (ICT) standardization?
- How do different standardization processes serve as unifiers or dividers?
- How does standardization unify or divide local and global markets?
- What impact do different approaches to managing intellectual property rights in standardization have on the market, competition, and users?
- How can standardization be employed to encourage or discourage cooperation?
