About 6GSymposium Spring 2022
6GSymposium Themes & Audiences
2022 will see clearer definitions for what comes after 5G from international organisations such as the ITU and 3GPP, while countries across the world are developing their initiatives and research programmes. Visions are giving way to practical solutions and challenges.
It is evident that 6G will contain elements that are a natural extension of 5G and 5G-Advanced, and will in some ways build on the business disruptions already being felt today. At the same time, the unique social and environmental demands being placed on future telecoms will accelerate and redirect innovation, technical and business growth across the telecoms supply chain to create some radical results.
None of this happens in a vacuum. Changes in the telecoms sphere overlap with developments in computing, media, semiconductors, infrastructure and more.
Following the success of last year’s 6GSymposium, we bring you fresh ideas and inspiration from the leading thinkers in industry, government and academia. The event will help anyone aiming to understand their way forward in 2022 and position their organisations for success.
