Accenture Executive to deliver Opening Keynote at CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Home Conference & Showcase

CONNECTIONS™ announced today that Allen Delattre, Global Managing Director of Accenture’s Electronics & High Tech industry practice, will deliver the conference’s morning keynote, Digital Home Services: Framing the New Opportunities, on Wednesday, May 3.

In his keynote speech, Mr. Delattre will discuss today's digital home and the vast possibilities for new consumer solutions. CONNECTIONS™, hosted by Parks Associates in partnership with CEA, will take place May 2-4, 2006, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif. Accenture is a Diamond Sponsor for CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Home Conference and Showcase.

“Achieving success in the digital home space requires creativity, market knowledge, business acumen, and a commitment to innovate,” said Tricia Parks, CEO of Parks Associates. “Accenture brings all these elements to CONNECTIONS™, and our attendees will benefit greatly from Mr. Delattre’s keynote as well as Accenture’s presence at the CONNECTIONS™ Showcase.”

According to Parks Associates, the number of broadband households with a residential gateway will reach 47 million by 2010. Service providers will play a big role in deploying these devices, leveraging the new RG-enabled services to acquire and retain customers and generate more revenue. Also in 2010, the number of U.S. households with a networked storage device will grow to nearly 10 million. These and other advanced devices will serve as the foundation for the digital home.

Allen (Al) Delattre is a nine-year veteran of Accenture and has more than 20 years of experience in creating and implementing new business models and strategies. Throughout his career, he has led large-scale strategic initiatives for clients in all segments of the high-tech industry, including semiconductor, consumer electronics, and telecommunications.
