Attending a GSMA RCS Business Messaging Lab will allow you to contribute to the future of business messaging. From designing commercial models, customer experience, consumer trials, to informing the GSMA standards, your contribution will ensure an open ecosystem that works together to realise the value estimated by 2020 of $74 billion. Networking is a major part of the Lab series, and individuals have made important connections at the Labs they have gone on to work with.
The Innovators Lab is aimed at companies who are already engaged with RCS. It enables individuals to contribute to the future of messaging and to ensure RCS becomes an industry-leading business messaging platform by sharing, identifying and resolving issues.
