PARTICIPANTS:
ECTA's annual Regulatory Conference is considered to be one of the pre-eminent regulatory and competition events for the European telecoms sector.  It is typically attended by 350+ representatives from Europe's policy making institutions - European Commission, European Parliament and Government Ministries plus senior representatives from National Regulatory and Competition Authorities.  The event provides one of the most important policy-debating forums in Europe for senior executives, finance and strategy directors, legal, regulatory, public affairs and competition specialists from European, US and Asia-Pac telecoms operators and suppliers as well as lawfirms, consultancies and financial institutions.
