GSMA WAS#9 April 8 -11, 2019

 

Anam was delighted to welcome 1250 international delegates to the GSMA WAS#9 event in the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur and the very impressive Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).

 

A truly global gathering with representation from 113 countries, (50% from Europe, 30% from Asia, 11% Middle East & Africa, 8% North America & Canada & 1% from South America & Caribbean) 60% of WAS#9 delegates come from the international MNO Community, representing 233 different Mobile Operators & 9 MNO Group entities.

 

Kuala Lumpur is a dynamic place where old world charm blends with new world sophistication, from colonial architecture to sparkling skyscrapers the city has much to offer the curious traveller. Beyond leisure Kuala Lumpur has a reputation as an easy place to do business acting as a valuable hub to Asian markets. These are some of the contributory factors which led Anam Asia to choose the city as our Head Quarters in the region, facilitating our exciting Asian expansion. With the WAS#9 KLCC  venue, fantastic hotels and Gala party in KLCW  all located within easy walking distance of each other and always in view of the iconic Twin Towers, we believe WAS#9 delegates also left KL with a shared positive view of Malaysia as a very accessible and business friendly location. Thanks to all Sponsors and delegates who contributed  to make this such a successful week.

 

Anam’s  Asia office was honoured to bring the prestigious WAS#9 event to KL and appreciate the support the GSMA have shown for our ambitious proposal as well as their guidance to ensure the highest standards were maintained. Thanks also the Malaysian Convention Bureau for their support in bringing the event together.

 

We hope you enjoy the WAS#9 galleries we have put together for your enjoyment. If you would like to make contact regarding WAS#9, please email info@anam.com.

 

Best Regards,

Anam

This WAS event was  so well organized and the venue was perfect!    I can’t say enough good things about the way the conference center and space was laid out and the incredibly easy to follow, visible signage.     The lunches and breaks were such a nice mix of local and international choices.   The WAS crowd can be a tough one and I have only heard raving reviews.

On behalf of the WAS leadership team and GSMA I wanted to send a note expressing our gratitude for you all delivering such a high standard WAS#9 event.  From a personal side of things collaborating with you (Mary-Therese and David) over the last year was very easy and I want to thank you for the effort you both put in that was imperative to the success of the event.  It was also great to see how well all of the ANAM team came together as one to deliver on site.   Every person I spoke to had very complimentary things to say about the organisation, location, hospitality and structure of the event.
