TADSummit is the thought-leadership event in programmable communications for eleven years. It runs on the 19th and 20th of October in Paris, France and online. We’ll be at Capgemini’s 5G Labs, Quai du Président Roosevelt 92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux. The week after is Network X, and TADHack Global is over the weekend (21-22 Oct).
Thank you to Strolid, Stacuity and Jambonz for sponsoring TADSummit. And for our many partners including WebRTC.Ventures, TelecomsXchange, and Capgemini Invent.
Come and share your insights and experiences in programmable communications / telecoms with the people leading innovation and thinking in this industry. Just contact me (Alan Quayle) through LinkedIn.
The audience includes CxOs from many of the programmable communication companies, open source leaders, and telecom operators. It’s a strategic and technology event. Many of TADSummit’s sponsors go on to be acquired.
Some parts of programmable communications are mature and consolidating, while others are exploding, e.g conversation intelligence and the services / integrations that solve business problems.
Many gaps remain, conversations are trapped in silos, hence the emergence of vCon, an open standard for sharing conversation data. Innovators in IoT are rewriting the rules in network programmability.
TADSummit remains the only place to get a no-BS (it’s in our policies) understanding of what’s working across technology, services, and go to market; and where things are going in programmable telecoms / communications.
The agenda is being built, a draft is here, and an outline is below. You can see it’s going to be a unique event where the conversations will move your business forward, not trap it in ever-decreasing circles like BS-laden copycat events.
