Brilliant Telecom participated at International Telecoms Week 2016. The biggest event of every year! It's our pleasure to see a lot of our partners there.
Every industry has its heartbeat, a singular event where its energy, ambition, and future converge. For the global wholesale telecommunications community, that heartbeat is International Telecoms Week (ITW). In 2016, Brilliant Telecom was once again proud to join the rhythm of this unparalleled gathering, participating in the largest and most significant forum of its kind. For one electrifying week, the center of the telecom universe pulsed with the collective vision of thousands of leaders, innovators, and partners—and we were honored to be at its core.
The Unparalleled Scale of ITW: Where the World Connects
ITW is more than a conference; it is the definitive crossroads of global connectivity. It is where the abstract maps of international networks are animated by the people who build, manage, and expand them. The 2016 edition continued this legacy, assembling a staggering array of carriers, data center operators, cloud providers, and technology enablers from every corner of the globe. The agenda was a reflection of the times: pivotal discussions on the seismic shifts toward software-defined networking and NFV, the relentless growth of content and video traffic demanding new interconnection paradigms, and the strategic planning of next-generation subsea and terrestrial cables that will bind the digital world even closer.
For Brilliant Telecom, ITW is non-negotiable. It is the annual audit of the global market's pulse and our most critical platform for reinforcing our position within the international ecosystem. Our participation is a declaration—a statement that we are active players committed to the collaborative effort of building a smarter, faster, and more resilient global network.
The Greatest Reward: Reconnecting with Our Global Partners
While the scale of ITW is impressive, its true magic lies not in its size, but in its humanity. The most profound value for our team is always the opportunity to reconnect with our vast network of partners, face-to-face. In an industry built on digital signals, the analog handshake remains irreplaceable. It was our sincere pleasure to see so many familiar faces—friends and collaborators with whom we have built trust and executed projects over the years.
These meetings are the lifeblood of our business. They transform voice calls and emails into shared laughter and firm commitments. In crowded convention halls and quiet meeting rooms, we solidified existing alliances, navigated complex challenges with mutual understanding, and laid the groundwork for the next wave of joint ventures. Each conversation, from a brief catch-up to an hour-long strategic deep-dive, reinforced the foundational partnerships that drive our collective success. To every partner who made time for us: Thank You. Your collaboration is our greatest asset.
A Week in Focus: Capturing the Energy
A gathering of this magnitude is an experience defined by moments—the intensity of a negotiation, the warmth of a reunion, the inspiration of a shared idea. We believe these moments tell the real story of ITW. We are delighted to invite you to relive the energy and atmosphere of ITW 2016 through our exclusive photo gallery.
Building on the Momentum: From Chicago to the World
As the lights dim on another remarkable ITW, the real work begins. The connections reaffirmed and initiated in Chicago are now the seeds for future growth. The insights gained from global peers directly inform our strategic planning and service development. We return energized, with a renewed understanding of the market's direction and a strengthened commitment to being your partner of choice for global connectivity solutions.
ITW 2016 has once again proven that while technology connects machines, it is trust that connects businesses. We are already looking forward to next year’s chapter, building on the foundations solidified this spring.
To our partners worldwide: until we meet again, we remain committed to powering your connectivity ambitions.
