Cuba
Breakfast (Thursday, June 4): The race is on for tech
companies to invest in Cuba after President Obama's landmark decision to
ease trade restrictions. An opportunity now exists to leap over five
generations of telecommunications technology and build out a modern,
robust system. In addition to addressing the opportunities, speakers
will also look at the challenges - from Congressional action to
regulatory ambiguities - during the breakfast that kicks off Policy Day
(learn more about Policy
Day here). The event will feature Dr. Margaret Crahan, Senior
Research Scholar and Director, Cuba Program, Columbia University
Institute for Latin American Studies, as well as Timothy Finton,

Laughlin will release a new report titled Cuba Outlook: Assessing the
Country's Appetite for ICT Transformation. This report will answer
fundamental questions about Cuba's IT and telecom readiness - from how
the government is viewing the need for Internet services to Cuban
citizens to an analysis of options in the current monopolistic framework.
Cybersecurity
Breakfast (Wednesday, June 3): Cybersecurity and privacy
professionals representing service providers, over-the-top content
providers, enterprise and suppliers will discuss critical issues such as

systems, and data, it is having a dramatic impact on the future for
telecommunications and the world economy. Participants will address both
the ways in which the Internet of Things is transforming healthcare,
transportation, energy, manufacturing, and government, and the many
