Save the Date | Mobile Future Forward 2026 | Sept 10 | Seattle

February 19, 2026

Dear Friends,

For over 16 years, Mobile Future Forward has been where the industry’s most consequential conversations happen first.

Before 5G was deployed anywhere, it was debated here. Before AI infrastructure became a boardroom priority, the architectural questions were framed in the keynotes and panel discussions. Before FWA, before edge computing, before the current race for sovereign AI, the leaders who would shape these movements were testing ideas, challenging assumptions, and building relationships at MFF.

This has never been a conference of scripted keynotes and sponsor pitches. It is a working session among peers: CxOs, chief architects, and strategy leaders from operators, hyperscalers, semiconductor companies, infrastructure vendors, and enterprises, who come not to be talked at, but to think together as a community.

The questions facing our ecosystem in 2026 are as thorny as any we have tackled:

• The wireless industry is being asked to become AI infrastructure. What does that actually require and who captures the value?
• Billions are flowing into AI compute, but the bottlenecks are shifting from training to inference, from cloud to edge, from software to silicon. Where should the next bets be placed?
• 6G standardization is accelerating while 5G monetization and diffusion remains incomplete. How do leaders plan across two horizons simultaneously?
• Robotics, autonomous systems, and spatial computing are moving from demos to deployment. What will connectivity need to deliver that it cannot deliver today?
• What are key deep-tech areas that will shape the global conversations?

These are not questions with easy answers. They are questions that demand the kind of direct, unfiltered exchange that only happens when the right people are in the room – without cameras, without agendas, without the theatrics.

That platform convenes again on September 10th in Seattle.

The 2026 theme will be announced soon. For now, if you could please mark your calendar. If past years are any indication, the conversations that begin here will shape decisions for the year ahead.

If you would like to partner with us, please get in touch.

More details to follow.

Warm regards,
Chetan Sharma
