Nova Future Summit 2026

Nova Future Summit 2026 runs 28 to 30 September 2026 at the Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa, California. Co-created by the GSMA and Wing, it convenes around 500 senior technology and telecommunications executives for a 48-hour, invitation-only programme held under the Chatham House Rule with no press present — a format built for candid strategy discussion rather than announcements. The agenda sits on the seam where AI, data, cloud and connectivity converge: keynote salons on agentic AI and the intelligent network, global venture capital trends, and technology, power and global security, alongside keynote discussions on policy for a connected AI future, the connectivity layer, and who owns productivity in the age of AI agents. Parallel closed-door boardrooms run for enterprise AI buyers, 6G executives, Chief AI Officers, CTOs, CIOs and security leaders, with further sessions on AI infrastructure, quantum computing and physical AI and robotics. Supporting organisations include América Móvil, Airtel, T-Mobile, Telenor, TIM, VEON, Vodafone and GSMA Intelligence.

• ✓Telecom CEOs, CTOs and CIOs
• ✓Chief AI Officers and heads of enterprise AI
• ✓Big tech corporate and business development executives
• ✓Network and 6G strategy leaders
• ✓CISOs and technology security leaders
• ✓Growth-stage and infrastructure investors
• ✓Technology policy and regulatory affairs leaders

For a telecom or large-enterprise technology executive this is a 48-hour peer summit, not a trade show: 500 counterparts, no press, and role-segmented boardrooms where a Chief AI Officer or CTO can put an actual unresolved decision on the table. You leave with a calibrated read on where operator and hyperscaler strategies are converging on agentic AI and the intelligent network, what 6G and AI infrastructure spending commitments peers are really making, and direct relationships with the América Móvil, Airtel, T-Mobile, Telenor, TIM, VEON and Vodafone leadership the GSMA convenes.

• ✓Keynote Salon: Agentic AI and the Intelligent Network
• ✓Keynote Salon: Global Venture Capital Trends
• ✓Keynote Discussion: Policy for a Connected AI Future
• ✓Keynote Discussion: Who Owns Productivity in the Age of AI Agents?
• ✓Keynote Salon: Technology, Power and Global Security, and a keynote salon with Runway's Co-CEO
• ✓Parallel closed-door boardrooms: Enterprises & AI, 6G Executive, Chief AI Officer
• ✓Parallel closed-door boardrooms: AI Infrastructure, Quantum Computing, Physical AI & Robotics
• ✓Parallel closed-door boardrooms: CTO in the AI Era, Sovereignty, CIO and Security
• ✓Keynote Discussion: The Connectivity Layer
• ✓Sunset reception and dinner, gala reception and dinner, and a closing reception

• ★Strict Chatham House Rule with no press admitted, which is what makes the boardroom sessions genuinely candid rather than a rehearsal of public positions
• ★Co-created by the GSMA and Wing, so it pulls the global mobile operator community and Silicon Valley into one room — a combination no standalone AI or telecom event assembles
• ★Capped at roughly 500 senior executives over 48 hours, with a white-glove, invitation-only guest list rather than open registration
• ★Structured around parallel closed-door boardrooms segmented by role — Chief AI Officer, CTO, CIO, security, 6G — instead of a single general-audience stage
• ★Napa resort setting with sunset reception and gala dinner deliberately built for relationship-forming rather than expo-floor traffic
• ★Agenda spans the adjacent frontier technologies operators must plan around — quantum, physical AI and robotics, sovereignty — not just this year's network roadmap
