The event will provide an opportunity to explore how the much discussed “sending-party-network-pays" model could specifically impact European cloud services and content delivery networks (CDNs).

Amidst the ongoing Europe's digital connectivity debate, CISPE aims to bring together a panel of expert voices to shed light on the unique characteristics of the cloud and CDN sector, as well as their customers.

The event will be available both in-person and online, to allow wide participation.
