GNE Global Media & Analyst Hub

Located in the center of the action, the Media and Analyst Hub provided a quiet space for media and analysts to facilitate one-on-one interviews, host podcasts, and film executive videos.

Sponsors had preferred access to our media and analysts.

At GNE 2024, the seniority, expertise and influence of the attendees was impressively high, especially in terms of senior CSP management. This is an event where real decisions are made, real influencers are everywhere, and real answers can be found.
