Get involved

The global race towards 6G has begun. With the promise of mind-boggling new use cases powered by connectivity that is 100 times faster and more reliable than 5G, and which offers 20 times more capacity, it is sometimes difficult to separate the science fiction from the science fact. What can be said for certain, however, is that rapidly evolving technologies and increasing expectations from industries and consumers mean that the world in 2030 will look very different to today.
With operators, vendors and governments all around the world now engaged in regional 6G research initiatives, this conference will explore the visions, roadmaps and related activities that are emerging. Bringing together top-level industry and policy representatives from across the globe, it will look at the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead as we embark on the exciting new path towards a future hyper-connected world.
