On 18 June 2024, leading representatives of the telecommunications industry will convene at the Connect Conference 2024 to present and discuss the latest trends and future communication technologies. The exclusive networking event, organised by the media company WEKA Media Publishing, is taking place for the tenth time and will again be held in the Saxon state capital of Dresden, which is also a partner of the conference.

Dirk Hilbert, Mayor of the City of Dresden: „What connects Dresden and this special conference is nothing less than a passion for high-tech. The Dresden region is currently the largest European location for microelectronics, information and communication technology. This is due to the latest investments by global technology leaders, which have made Dresden the location par excellence for microelectronics. The connect conference therefore fits well with our positioning and at the same time strengthens the positive perception of Silicon Saxony.“

Dirk Waasen, the organiser of the Connect Conference and head of the media company WEKA Media Publishing: „The Connect Conference brings together leading industry players for a day of insights and networking at the highest level. The Conference covers a range of topics related to mobile and fixed networks, connectivity, and future technologies. The active participation of network operators 1&1, Telefonica and Vodafone has resulted in the conference becoming a network day, during which the journey in mobile and fixed networks will be elucidated in concise lecture slots.“

The programme will comprise a diverse range of lectures and panel discussions on a variety of topics, including "5G on it’s way to 6G", " How to make networks more sustainable", "Security as a key factor in mobile networks", " How AI improves network quality and customer relations", " How fibre gives mobile networks a boost", "The comeback of Open RAN" and "Static measurements in dynamic networks".
