The PTC annual conference is the Pacific hemisphere's premier senior-level event. Top executives of telecommunications companies from more than 60 countries, equipment and software developers, content and application service providers, vendors, investors, educators and researchers, policy makers, attorneys, consultants and civil society representatives meet each January in Honolulu to forge alliances, negotiate agreements, network and learn from one another's experiences and insights in one of the most desirable meeting environments in the world.

A fundamental shift is occurring in the communications and IT industries. Ever more applications and services are moving from dedicated networks and end-user devices to servers on the Internet. No facet of either the telecom or IT industry will remain untouched by this transformation.

PTC'11 will highlight the impact of the rapid evolution of cloud computing for communications carriers, capacity providers, providers of undersea cables and satellite services, application developers, media and content providers, and end users.
