Orviss will facilitate a VIP Executive Workshop on “Monetizing Content-Based Services” on Tuesday, Nov. 18, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. The highly interactive session will give an invitation-only group of senior-level service providers a chance to exchange views about ways in which communications and media companies can leverage their information and capabilities to increase revenue and enhance a customer’s experience.
