About the Summit

The Inference Edge is a curated executive summit examining where compute and network intelligence will live, how inference, AI-RAN and 6G are changing infrastructure requirements, and what it will take to make the edge work. It brings together the wireless and communications infrastructure ecosystem with the AI, compute, power and capital leaders who need it, for a day of working sessions designed to produce actionable insight, not just conversation.

Why the Edge,
Why Now

Inference Changes the Physics

AI inference, from real-time conversation to autonomous systems and physical AI, needs single-digit-millisecond response. The speed of light sets a ceiling that no distant facility can remove.

The Window is Open Now

Infrastructure build cycles typically run two to three years. The organizations making siting, power and fiber decisions today will be positioned to serve demand when it fully arrives.

Power is the Constraint

Existing communications sites have real but limited electrical headroom. Utility connections and permitting are the near-term gating factor, and no one company can solve it alone.

Who Attends

Network Operators Wireless, cable, satellite and fiber carriers
Towers and Infrastructure Tower, small cell, neutral-host and site owners
