Why You Should Attend This Summit:

With 6G and next generation networks on the horizon, promising even greater network progress, market transformation and improved communications capabilities support the United States' technological power in an age of global competition. The integration of these technologies will also be critical to ensuring the Warfighter can operate effectively in contested environments, where networks are compromised. DoD's recent designation of future generation wireless as one of their fourteen critical technology areas underscores the need to act quickly in building the ecosystem necessary to rapidly deliver requirements to the Warfighter. At our first-ever FutureG for Defense Summit, attendees will hear from leaders and experts across the wireless telecommunications and defense communities about the technologies and policies necessary to establish and maintain a strategic, operational, and tactical advantage through advanced wireless networking capabilities and development.

The team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the wireless telecom community.
