gain insights into what we uncovered and ask questions of our consultants and researchers.

       Delegates will leave the sessions with:

  • Rare strategic insights that facilitate decision making

Our Approach with the GSR
• This event is in English and suitable for: Business Professionals interested in Telecoms
  Trends, International Roaming Mangers, Messaging Managers, Directors, MNOs and
  MVNO Strategists, Managers, B2B Vendors of services to MNOs in this sector, New
  senior team members, C-Level teams. People who are making it, not who’ve made it.

• Quality over quantity: We limit the event to 30 people for more engaged participation.

• Learning not selling: The tone of the event is learning, testing ideas about the industry
  and not about products, services or sales. No speaker has paid to speak at our GSR
  event.

• Diversity of thought and opinion: While we have industry veterans with 20+ years in
  telecoms, we also encourage younger talent, sometimes on the edge of the industry to
  provide additional insights.

• We will embrace industry tensions: We will provide passionate and interesting speakers
  who foster debate and honesty and we will talk facts.

• Our panel discussions: When we organise panel discussions, they will be well organised
  and based around areas of disagreement.

• Ambiance: We will provide Healthy food, comfortable non corporate environments and
  inspiring locations suitable for stimulating thought and inspiration. Nothing good ever
  came out of a meeting in a Hilton or a Sheraton ;)

• Presenters: Presented by Jason Bryan, Stefano de Zottis, James Williams and Sibel
  Gazozcu. see ROCCO’s linkedin page to learn about our researchers.https://

About Cadiz
        The city stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay, which is almost entirely
surrounded by water. The old city is distinctly Moorish in appearance and a gem to explore
with its narrow cobbled streets, beautiful plazas (squares), fabulous fish market and
numerous tapas bars. However, there is also a part, which has a distinct Cuban feel, with
colourful buildings and even more colourful people, residing there.

       One of the most beautiful spots in the city is the Plaza de Mina, which is a square
located in the heart of the old town. The Museum of Cadiz is located here. Other landmarks

are the Plaza San Antonio, Plaza de San Francisco with its church and convent, and the
Plaza de Candelaria.

Cultural attractions

        The city is filled with cultural interests and surprises, from its 16th century city walls,
Las Puertas de Tierra, to the Cathedral Nueva, which is a magnificent 18th century Baroque
structure, which if you ascend to the top domed terrace you can see the whole of the bay
stretched out in front of you.

       The Torre Tavira (watchtower) is the city’s highest watchtower, which dates back to
the 18th century and boasts amazing views across the city.The wonderful church of
Oratorio de Santa Cruz contains some fine Goya paintings and the Casa del Almirante
(Admiral’s House) which dates back to the 16th century, situated in Plaza San Martin, is an
exquisite piece of architecture with an elegant history.

        There are many more interesting monuments and attractions throughout Cadiz, and
there is much to explore, including Flamenco shows and local Vineyards.

Cuisine

        The cuisine of Cadiz has many influences from its past, Moorish, Phoenician and
Roman, but all of these add up to a typically Andalusian gastronomy. The seafood and
shellfish from this region are particularly delicious and succulent and feature high on all
menus in the city and throughout the province. Particularly good are the mussels,
langoustines, clams, crab and razor-shell molluscs, that are easily found by rooting around
in the shallows. Tapas also plays an important part of the gastronomy of the city; in some
bars when the local Cadiz football team are playing, they serve tapas with yellow sauce,
which is the colour of their team!

Climate

       The province of Cadiz enjoys a mild climate; the hottest period of the year is during
the summer months of July and August, when the temperature rises to around 32 degrees,
and the winter months drop to around 18 degrees. The provinces receive about 300 days
and 3200 hours of sunshine per year.

How to get to Cadiz

Transfers
       Transfers to the Event Hotel and GSR location are not included in the price but we
are happy to help you arrange everything.

        There are two international airports located close to Cadiz: Jerez ( Airport Code
XRY) and Seville (Airport Code SVQ) and also a little further afield Malaga (Airport Code
AGP). Both Seville and Jerez airports have several daily connecting flights to Madrid, the
rest of Spain and Europe. Following you will find a table detailing the most convenient ways
to get to Cadiz. If you need any help simply contact us and we can aid you in the best way
to arrive to Cadiz. Remember that you can request a ROCCO Event door-to-door pickup
service from Seville and Jerez.

Arriving at Jerez (XRY) Airport or Seville (SVQ) Airport

       There is information below on how to get from the airport to your accommodation
you can either organize a transfer with us or make your own way to your accommodation.

Option 1: Airport transfers arranged by us

        We are very happy to arrange for you to be collected at your arrival airport, and to
be taken directly to your accommodation. This is a simple and trouble-free way to get to the
event. Your driver will meet you as soon as you have passed through Customs. The driver
will be holding up a sign that shows the ROCCO Logo.

All you need to do is to request this service and to make sure that you tell us your arrival
details (date, time, flight number, arrival airport and departure airport). Please contact us for
transfer rates. If for any reason you cannot find your driver, follow the steps below:

  • Stay at the arrivals gate and wait there.

  • Listen to the public address system for any messages addressed to you.

  • If you have not been contacted by the driver after 15 minutes, telephone the following
    numbers, in this order for assistance: +34 660138162

  • The driver will wait for you for 45 minutes after your flight arrival time.

  • If you realize you are likely to be delayed for longer than this – for example because
    your flight is delayed, or you have problems in getting through customs, immigration,

     baggage control, etc – you should telephone one of the numbers above to inform the
     Event team.

Option 2: Making your own way

        Although we are very happy to arrange an airport pickup it is not essential. Taxis are
easy to get at Jerez or Seville airport and actually cost less than a pickup service (if
combining taxi & train in the whole equation). We do not recommend taking a taxi from the
airports all the way to Cadiz since they are some distance and are expensive, but it is
perfectly easy to take a combination of train and taxi.
