In a recent study of industrial and telecom company executives from around the world, when asked which technologies will be the most integral to their digital transformation over the next five years, 75% of respondents answered 5G.

Why attend the 5G Huddle?

Previous Editions

The 5G Huddle is hosted annually by the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF). Since its inception in 2014, it has brought key 5G stakeholders together in various locations across the globe including the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, South Africa, Japan - and soon to include India - with each edition addressing the next step of the 5G 'journey'. Discussions around ‘What is 5G?’; the development of the 5G ecosystem and infrastructure; making the 5G vision a reality; the transition from 4G to 5G; how to deliver ‘5G For All’ ; and whether 5G can deliver on its promises have all pathed the way to this year's focus on 5G as a catalyst for digital transformation.
