ICT-MobileSummit 2009 takes place in the Historical City of Santander, 10 - 12 June 2009. This is the eighteenth in a series of Annual Conferences supported by the European Commission, which regularly attracts over 600 delegates from industry and research to share experiences and research results, identify future trends, discuss business opportunities and identify opportunities for international research collaboration under the ICT Theme of Framework Programme 7 (FP7). It will thus contribute to showcasing European research in the field, and position it within the multiplicity of related initiatives supported in other regions of the world.

ICT-MobileSummit 2009 will address all the challenges of building the Future Internet, which will be based on mobile, wireless and fixed broadband communications infrastructures. The impact of such Future Networks on the underlying Internet infrastructure will continue to be emphasized in the 2009 Summit. Technology enabling services and applications for billions of users involving trillions of interconnected potentially mobile devices will be addressed at the event.

The Scientific Programme incorporates all the key constituents of future communication networks including the themes Radio Access and Spectrum, Converged and Optical Networks, and Future Internet Technologies.

Supported by the European Commission and eMobility, the ICT-MobileSummit's reputation is based on high quality paper sessions that showcase original results in all areas of wireless communications systems and networks, including Mobile and Fixed, Terrestrial and Satellite.

While European funded research results are of particular interest, innovative research funded commercially or at national level is equally interesting from a community perspective. The participation of representatives of leading commercial, research and regulatory organizations in the Conference Community ensures a stimulating and high quality networking environment.
