PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – C&W Communications (C&W) was awarded Best Booth at the 35th Annual CANTO Conference in Trinidad and Tobago. The award is based on several criteria including visual impact, organisation of exhibition material, availability of information, quality of staff, overall impression, and also includes votes from the conference attendees. The 4-day Conference at the Hyatt Regency in Port of Spain, was held under the theme ‘Transitioning to a Digital Region – Opportunities & Challenges’ ended with the official Closing Cocktail on Wednesday, July 24th, 2019.
On the final day of the conference, C&W Communications’ executives continued to contribute to a range of important debates.
‘Today we will focus on regulating content. It is critical because we operate in a digital environment where customers have a wide range of services from which to choose’ said Opal Neil, Senior Manager, Regulatory Affairs, C&W Communications as she introduced the session – The Regulation of Content in the Digital Age – Are Current Regulatory Approaches Working?
