Keynotes
Nick Earle, Vice President, European and Emerging Markets at Cisco Systems, will open the keynote sessions at Networkers 2005.
The overall event will be hosted by Enrico Deluchi, Managing Director Marketing, European and Emerging Markets.
On day two, Michio Kaku, the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Graduate Centre of the City University of New York will be taking the stage. Kaku's goal is to complete Einstein's dream of a "theory of everything", a single equation that unifies the 4 fundamental forces of the universe. We are delighted to have him present at Networkers this year.
The winners of the Networkers Innovation Awards will be announced straight after Michio Kaku's Keynote

From interviews to documentaries, Dr. Kaku has explained the most fascinating and complex ideas in science today, in ways so elegant and easy to understand, much like the late Carl Sagan.
On television he has been featured on the PBS documentaries: Einstein Revealed, Stephen Hawking's Universe, and Science Odyssey. His weekly radio programme Explorations in Science focuses on topics such as frontiers in physics, black holes, time machines, hyperspace, the human genome project and genetic engineering.
