Telecom Talks 2024 ONSITE

Telecom Talks is Telecom Council’s 2024 annual meeting where telcos from around the world come to Silicon Valley to introduce their startup partners and discover new technologies that have been validated by other network operators.

Because Telecom Council’s community of innovation executives and tech scouts is focused on working with startups and new technologies across communications, our annual summit offers an intimate format structured to connect attendees around meaningful dialogue and business conversations. The single-track agenda is packed with short, back-to-back technology pitches, executive interviews, startup case studies, private introductions, and facilitated networking; followed on Day 2 with online MatchMaker meetings to follow up.

What to expect
Over 200 curated meetings were managed by our MatchMaker service at our last annual meeting, and this year will schedule even more as the meetings will take place both onsite in Silicon Valley and online in the MatchMaker portal. How individual delegates use their 15 minutes depends entirely on the common interests of both parties and ranges from discussions around technical capabilities, commercial propositions, partnership opportunities and everything in between. In 2023, Telecom Council carrier members each met with on average 11 young companies, and in a few cases, these 15 minute meetings precipitated follow-up meetings in our members’ Silicon Valley offices in the same week. Highlighted on the other side of the equation was a Series B startup who secured 14 meetings at the event.

What would you give to have a packed schedule of meetings with global telcos, telecom vendors, and communications investors, who have reviewed your proposition and want to learn more? Then, what more value would you get when they followup in the subsequent 3 days by introducing you to their commercial/technical team? If you’re working on a product or solution that’s going to change the way people and companies communicate, you need to be at Telecom Talks.
