CW International Conference 2026

The CW International Conference (CWIC) is a must-attend event for technology professionals, business leaders and policymakers looking to understand and prepare for the challenges ahead. Running for the past seventeen years, with an average of 500+ registered delegates, CWIC brings together global experts to shape the future of connectivity and resilience. 

CWIC 2026 will delve into the relationship between connectivity and the emerging technologies rapidly shaping the future. It isn’t a one-directional relationship. It’s symbiotic. As AI reshapes every industry, the connectivity community finds itself at a critical inflection point: we're not just carrying the traffic, we're enabling the intelligence, securing the infrastructure, and capturing the value. 

The 2026 conference brings together leaders who understand that the future isn't about connectivity OR AI, quantum, or emerging tech. It's about how these technologies converge, depend on each other, and create entirely new opportunities for innovation and value creation. 

CWIC 2026 is where the telecommunications and Advanced Communication Technologies (ACT) ecosystem gathers to explore our evolving role at the centre of technological transformation. 

Key themes include: 

Connectivity & AI: A Two-Way Revolution 

• How does the interplay and co-dependency between connectivity and AI manifest in real-world scenarios? 
• What network capabilities does AI demand, and what does AI-enhanced connectivity make possible? 
• How do we harness technological innovation to deliver meaningful impact across society, business, and the wireless community itself? 

Beyond AI: The Converging Technology Landscape 

• What transformational technologies – quantum, 6G, biotechnology, renewable energy – will reshape the connectivity landscape? 
• What impact will converging technologies have on the future of connectivity infrastructure, business models, and ecosystem partnerships? 
• How does invention translate into deployable solutions that deliver measurable value? 

Securing Our Future: Infrastructure, Talent & Trust 

• How do we stay secure in an increasingly autonomous world where we're handing over critical decisions to AI? 
• How do we safeguard the future of the telecommunications industry? Where will the next generation of career opportunities come from? 
• What skills, partnerships, and business models will sustain the wireless ecosystem through the next wave of disruption? 

Whether you're architecting next-generation networks, deploying AI at the edge, developing the semiconductors that power connectivity, or building the security frameworks that protect it all, CWIC 2026 is where the wireless community comes together to navigate convergence, capture opportunity, and lead from the foundation.
