As the buzz around 6G increases every year, associations, universities and private companies start to offer all sorts of events about the topic – webinars, workshops, conferences, both virtual and in-person. What’s better for the audience: many of them are free.
To help you find the best fits for your needs, 6GWorld has put together this non-exhaustive list of confirmed 6G events across the globe. It will be updated regularly as more dates are confirmed or the information changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The selection also includes non-6G events which are, however, related to the topic. You will find them under the section “Industry-Related Events” at the end of this page.
