AMTA will hold its Technology Showcase in Parliament House, Canberra, on Wednesday, June 25. Chief Executive Officer, Chris Althaus, said the Showcase would provide an opportunity for our industry to demonstrate its range of cutting-edge products and services to key decision makers and senior bureaucrats.

He said the Showcase would feature hands-on displays to give MPs, Senators and senior departmental people the opportunity to see the latest mobile technology in action and gain an appreciation of the capability of such devices.

Mr Althaus said: “This provides a platform for our Members to display their technology and services to key decision makers in Canberra. But it’s not technology for technology’s sake. It is all about what technology can do for us including the social, economic and environmental issues.

“Mobile technology is playing such an important role in driving productivity across the economy and supporting social connectivity in the community. This is our chance to highlight the positive contributions our industry delivers to the economy and community.” AMTA will use the Showcase event to release a new publication summarisng its latest research on the roles and contributions of mobile telecommunications.
