The Future of Voice provides a foundation for a conversation that should encourage all companies to re-think communications. Martin & Dean are the leading global telecom strategists if you want to identify new opportunities for growth and value creation across the communications industry. Martin is one of my go to world experts when thinking about where next with telecommunications. Dean's blunt, thorough and robust analysis of where the money is made helps one make sense of where communications is going

The inaugural Future of Voice workshop in Silicon Valley was an excellent day of rich knowledge transfer from two of the brightest guys in the industry. Not only did I learn new and valuable perspectives on the voice industry, I also benefitted from spending the day with an internationally diverse group of top people across the industry.  Highly recommend attending for both the content and an invaluable networking opportunity
– Larry Lisser, Founding Partner, Embrase 

With stellar group of attendees, this workshop crystallised my half-formed thoughts on the future of voice into something actionable. Geddes and Bubley both have deep knowledge of their subject area, with helpfully contrasting styles and interests. Martin has brilliant long-term vision and an eye for an interesting technology, Dean can spot  potential pitfalls and failures a mile off and present ways to avoid, or capitalize on it. Together they offer a clear view of the future from which any senior executive in the industry can profit
– Tim Panton, Founder, Phonefromhere.com

Dean and Martin have consistently been ahead of the curve with market insight when it comes to the telecom world. Their ability to describe what comes next puts them in a league of their own
– Andy Abramson, CEO of Communicano, author VoIP Watch

When I run eComm conferences on emerging technology, Dean and Martin are two of the anchor speakers. It's hard to find people to beat their depth of knowledge on the future of voice
– Lee Dryburgh, Founder of Emerging Communications Research & Events, LLC

I hired Dean and Martin as the 'best in class' industry experts to support Intel's internal education campaign on telecoms. The feedback from one attendee – "Intel's best-ever webcast" – speaks for itself.
– John Woodget, Global Director Telco Sector Worldwide, Intel Corporation
