DRIVING A BROADBAND-ENABLED CONNECTED WORLD


Broadband World Forum has been the go-to-event for the broadband access and services community for the last 20 years.
Whether this is fibre, cable or FWA, the objective of Broadband World Forum remains the same – to drive broadband access, technologies and strategies for next-gen residential and non-residential services.
There will be a full Broadband World Forum agenda at Network X, click the button below to view the full agenda.

What are the BBWF speakers excited about?
"Network X is now taking over BBWF, its enlarged scope shows an promising dynamic making us confident to reach and even overcome the quality and density of discussions we already had within BBWF. This year, I will be pleased to share some thoughts around end to end broadband experience to meet our customers’ expectations. As a matter of fact, providing a consistent and seamless level of performance between access network and home network requires specific attention where network operators have a important role."
Gilles Bourdon, VP Wireline Networks & Infrastructure, Orange
"After 2 years of restrictions, I am very happy to be part of the Network X conference – 3 great topics concentrated into 3 days of sharing almost 3 years of technological innovations. What else then Broadband, 5G and Telco cloud is driving changes in the digital society? These are exactly the areas I see as the key in our commercial proposition."
Tomáš Křešťák Director, Product & Innovation, O2 Czech Republic
"I am super excited to join NetworkX 2022 – a whole conference dedicated to the holy grail of Telco in the 21st century: Convergence. My talk will be centered around the role that data and machine learning can play in connecting the worlds of Broadband, 5G, and Cloud with a focus on real world examples closing the loop between data analytics and customer experience."
