September Innovation Review

Sep 24, 2020, 9:00am - 11:00pm Virtual Meeting Room, , , SUMMARY

Members of all Telecom Council's Forums get together to focus on discovering innovation, exchanging knowledge, growing professional networks, and above all building partnerships across the entire ecosystem. Buyers, sellers, and technology companies from around the world convene in Silicon Valley this month to meet startups, review new products, plus listen to a case study where we introduce a company and their partner to talk about the deployment, the service, and how/why they work together.

ABOUT COMTECH FORUM

Members of the ComTech Forum meet monthly to discover trends, technologies, products, services and new companies in the communications industry. Meetings range from private lunches and startup pitches to large public meetings. Members choose the topics and host the meetings at their facilities around Silicon Valley. Annual membership includes introductions, a library of startup pitches and research, an online networking group and access to Telecom Council’s quarterly general interest meetings including TC3 and Innovation Showcase.

CALENDAR

SPEAK

With more than 12 meetings each year on topics ranging from cloud, analytics and subscriber management to SDN, artificial intelligence, enterprise services and NetOps, there are 100s of speaking opportunities each year – including analyst, keynote, panel, unpanel, and startup pitch. Though members, sponsors and hosts get priority for speaking, we always make room for good startups and technology pitches – free of charge.

SPONSOR

Companies may not sponsor the ComTech Forum or the Telecom Council, though occasionally individual meetings will be open for sponsorship. Meeting sponsors may chose between branding, speaking, or topic sponsorship based on how much they want to influence an agenda. Click below for a list of meetings currently open for sponsorship along with the benefits and cost of the sponsorship options.

APPLY

PITCH

Several ComTech Forum meetings each year have a session dedicated to startup pitches. These are free, 5-minute, Rapid-Fire pitches that are intended to introduce startups to 100s of potential partners from telcos, investors and vendors. Startups apply online and are chosen based on input from the members on what technologies and stages they want to review.

APPLY

DEMO

Every ComTech Forum meeting makes space inside the meeting room for up to 10 demo tables. Demo tables allow any company - new or established, member or not - to show their technology at networking breaks before, after and during Forum meetings. Tables are available first-come, first-served through the meeting’s online registration. Meetings with demo tables currently available can be found in the calendar.

APPLY

HOST

Companies with a meeting room that holds over 50 people may host a ComTech Forum meeting. For the cost of catering, you can bring the communication industry - including global telcos, major vendors, leading investors and entrepreneurs - to your facility and build your brand as an integral part of the communications ecosystem. Plus, you get to sit in on these private meetings for an insider’s view.
