Allen Delattre, Global Managing Director of Accenture's Electronics and High Tech industry practice, will deliver the Connections morning keynote: "Digital home services: framing the new opportunities", on Wednesday 3rd May 2006.

In his keynote speech, 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 from 2nd to 4th May 2006, at the Santa Clara Convention Centre in Santa Clara, California.

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 delegates will benefit greatly from 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 US 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.
