Keynote
Edge computing has been promised for a decade. What is different now is demand: AI inference needs response times measured in single-digit milliseconds, and distance becomes the limit that no amount of distant capacity can fix. This keynote lays out what has changed since the last wave of edge investment, why the window to secure sites, power and fiber is open today, how AI-RAN and 6G create new customers for site owners and developers, and the questions this room needs to answer together.
