This event is turning the corner, with more commercial deployments and a significant rise of enterprise interest for edge applications and solutions.

It will gather 500+ enterprises, telcos, cloud service providers, analysts and array of edge and IoT solution providers all looking to secure their place at the edge. The whole edge ecosystem will come together for 2 days of innovation, networking, and debate to shape the future of edge computing.

The Time Is Right For The Edge

• Enterprises
With the explosion of IoT devices in use across multiple industries, enterprises need an increasingly distributed and flexible network infrastructure to manage their data. Edge computing meets this requirement and unlocks the true value of IoT.

• Telcos
Telcos need to decide how best to invest in edge services and should be focusing on specific use cases, a strategic set of ecosystem partners, and business models that are realistic for their business and relationship with their customers.

• Cloud Service Providers
Their focus should be on customers that need access to immediately adjacent infrastructure assets. Cloud providers will eventually include many SaaS providers that aim to extend their applications to the edge, with many hybrid alternatives.

Edge is turning the corner, with more commercial deployments and a significant rise of enterprise interest for edge applications and solutions. Co-located with Private Networks in a 5G World, The Edge Event will gather 400+ enterprises, telcos, cloud service providers, analysts and array of edge and IoT solution providers all looking to secure their place at the edge. The whole edge ecosystem will come together for 2 days of innovation, networking, and debate to shape the future of edge computing.
