one6G Summit 2022

Defining a path to intelligent and sustainable global 6G

 
Building on the success of the first edition, one6G Summit is coming back to define the path to intelligent and sustainable global 6G.

The event will gather over 20 international experts from policy, industry, and academia who will talk about the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead as we embark on the exciting new journey toward a hyper-connected world. The speakers will share their insights, visions, and roadmaps, covering subjects ranging from 6G spectrum and testbeds to enabling technologies, among other related topics.

Last year, the one6G Summit brought together international leaders from policy, industry, and academia to explore critical points in the world’s journey towards 6G. We gathered 24 high-level speakers and more than 400 participants from around the world. one6G members presented early 6G prototypes and the first one6G position paper was released. If you missed the first edition, you can review the recordings of all sessions here.

Join us on November 10, 2022, to learn more about global 6G research and related initiatives. Registration is open.
