The topics he will cover will be the following:

• Vodafone is the worlds largest and most successful mobile telecom operator. What is the secret behind the success and which are the most important future targets
• Vodafone entered the Hungarian market in a stage when it seemed that the two competitors had "concreted" the market to be theirs. In spite of that, Vodafone has managed to get significant market shares and the brand is known by most of the Hungarians.
• The marketing tone and methods have turned into to be not just aggressive but in cases also arrogant between operators. What are the reasons and where do you think it will end?
