Founded in 1994 by Rémi Scavenius and Michel Gosse, Upperside Conferences has over the years established its strong credibility in the professional world as a leading telecom conference organizer by forging itself an original and innovative image. Today Upperside has earned a reputation of excellence in specific avant-garde themes. It was the first group to propose telecom conferences dedicated to MPLS, SIP, TVoDSL, WiMAX, Cloud Telco, Green Telco VoLTE and so forth. And by doing so, Upperside Conferences has delivered frontline coverage of major developments of IP protocol. BETWEEN RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY Upperside Conferences provides not only valuable contemporary information, but also insight on how a given technology is likely to pan out in the future. In this way, an Upper Side event is often an interface between academic research and industry. It is an excellent occasion for bringing together these sometimes antagonist words. AN EMPHASIS OF QUALITY OVER QUANTITY Upperside’s objective will never be to produce the largest number of conferences possible. Upperside organizes very few events compared to its competitors. This is because the focus is on the research aspect of innovate themes and on streamlining their integration within the conference framework. Such an approach necessitates a considerable amount of energy to persistently monitor technological developments worldwide.
