The GSA Evolution Forum, organised by GSA, , provides a unique opportunity for high-level interaction in "closed session" between vendors and mobile network operators deploying or planning their 3G service strategies based on the global GSM platform. The GSA Evolution Forum facilitates enhanced information exchange, networking and dialogue to assist the evolution to next generation mobile multimedia services using the GSM platform.

This unique program from GSA builds on the successful and influential EDGE Operators' Forum which convened during 2001-2003. The GSA Evolution Forum focuses on the business drivers, technology issues and the user experience concerning the evolution to full mobility 3G services using GSM, EDGE, and WCDMA/HSPA.

The GSA Evolution Forum is targeted for GSM/3G network operators and GSA member companies and is supported by the leading manufacturers in GSA including Ericsson, Nokia, and Siemens.
