Dear Friends,

Trust this note finds you and yours safe and healthy.

We are living through history and times of unprecedented change.

The global ecosystem is experiencing a technology renaissance wherein the interlinked and disruptive emerging breakthroughs are going to change the course of history and take the society in the next dimension of Quantumverse. With interconnected technologies like 5G, Edge, Quantum, Blockchain, Metaverse, Autonomous, and more, we are seeing the foundational layers of the Quantumverse being built in real-time.

We will uncover unprecedented opportunities but will also face extraordinary challenges. What will new applications and services be like? Will we interact with information and people differently? Will there be a realignment of the technology and ecosystem stack again? What infrastructural elements are missing to make the vision of the Quantumverse possible? What do we need to understand about human behavior, industrial policy, competition, equity to help prepare and enable us to maximize its potential?

With the help of our long-time partners and steadfast community, we are assembling some of the best minds and technologists to help us brainstorm the path forward.

Meet the renegades, the visionaries, the disruptors, and the doers of our ecosystem. Their wisdom and their inventive spirit to create something new will shape our dialog and roadmap.

Some of the discussion areas are:

• Quantumverse: Postcards from the Future
• Impact of Quantumverse on Society, Consumers, and Technology
• 5G: Connecting the dots from Products to Monetization
• 5G: Economics, Competition & Opportunities
• Trillions – Industrial Automation and Manufacturing
• Transformation of Cities and Transportation
• Navigating the Global Supply Chains
• AI/ML in the age of Data and Privacy
• Metaverse – Expanding Horizons
• Robotics: Integration of Man and Machine
• Globalization and Policy: Conflict and Convergence
• Solving the Cybersecurity conundrum

It is shaping up to be the most consequential event of the year.

Please join us for the Quantumverse.

Best wishes,

Our good friend and an MFF regular, Biju Nair – President, Global Connected Living at Assurant previews Quantum Leaps

AT&T has one of the most impressive service provider enterprise business in the world. They have been gradually building the business throughout the 4G cycle. What will 5G bring to the enterprise? How are the industrial segments already leveraging 5G? Where are the new revenue streams coming from? Rasesh Patel, Chief Product and Platform Officer for AT&T Business provides a preview.

Dear Friends,

Trust this note finds you and yours safe and healthy.

We are living through history and times of unprecedented change.

Quantum Leap is a phenomenon that occurs when an orbiting electron in an atom jumps to a higher energy level. Similarly, in the technology world, quantum leaps are created by breakthrough inventions that leaps the global economy into the next ecosystem energy tier like it has happened over the last 250 years with the industrial revolution; steam & railways; electricity and heavy engineering, oil, automobiles & mass production; and information and telecommunications technologies.

Sometimes, we see a step change in creativity because of crises like what happened during the renaissance period or during the world wars. However, it is extremely rare that the global economy heralds into a new decade energized by breakthrough technologies while facing a global crisis. We think it creates a perfect environment for “Quantum Leaps.” We have already seen early glimpses of this transition last year with the acceleration of trends, resetting of the assumptions, and the emergence of the new business models.

With the help of our long-time partners and steadfast community, we are assembling some of the best minds and technologists to help us brainstorm the path forward. Their wisdom of dealing with past crises and inventive spirit to create something new will shape our dialog and roadmap.

Mobile Future Forward continues to set the agenda for the industry and we are eager to dive into “Quantum Leaps” with our amazing speakers and participants who are working on these quantum leaps. Join us to be part of the sojourn.

Some of our confirmed executives are:

• Mike Sievert, President & CEO, T-Mobile USA
• Alex Katouzian, SVP & GM, Qualcomm
• Ina Fried, Chief Technology Correspondent, Axios
