28th InfoCom World Conference

Connected Intelligence: Gateway to the New Reality!

Tuesday, December 8, 2026 – Divani Caravel Hotel

The new digital era is taking shape at the intersection of connectivity, Artificial Intelligence, next-generation networks, data, cloud, cybersecurity, and enterprise applications. Technology is moving from the infrastructure phase to the intelligent utilization phase, where every network, every service, every device, every organization, and every user, become part of a broader Connected Intelligence ecosystem.

This is precisely what InfoCom World 2026 expresses, taking place on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, at the Divani Caravel Hotel, under the main title “Connected Intelligence: Gateway to the New Reality!”. This is a conference examining how intelligent connectivity becomes the gateway to a new reality for telecommunications, businesses, the public sector, citizens, media, the employment market, and everyday life.

This year’s event comes at a time when the industry is looking for more practical answers. Investments in networks, telecom provider transformation, the transition to 5G Standalone environments, fiber optics expansion, cloud and data center utilization, cybersecurity, regulation, Open Gateway, APIs, AI, and new digital services, compose a new competitive and growth framework.

Connected Intelligence captures this transition. Connectivity remains the foundation, but real value is created when networks are combined with data, automation, AI agents, applications, business needs, and institutional priorities. From telecom networks to healthcare, political communication, industry, smart cities, media, customer experience, and cybersecurity, the new reality demands technology with practical results.

From Connectivity to Connected Intelligence

The industry, and telecommunications in particular, stand at a critical turning point. 5G networks, fiber optics, cloud, edge, data centers, and new digital services, create the substrate for an ecosystem where connectivity acquires an intelligence layer.

The core objective now goes beyond speed or coverage. It’s about how infrastructure transforms into innovation platforms, how providers adopt new business models, how enterprises leverage networks for productivity, and how the country can support its digital competitiveness through strong, secure, and open technological foundations.

At the center of it, there will be investments, the regulatory framework, telecom provider strategies, new partnerships with the ICT sector, Open Gateway capabilities, cybersecurity, infrastructure resilience, and the need for services that generate measurable value for businesses, citizens, and the public sector.

AI in Practice: From Hype to Use Cases

Artificial Intelligence is now in every conversation, but the main goal is practical implementation. InfoCom World 2026 focuses on how AI moves from the promise level to the level of daily use, productive processes, vertical markets, and operational performance.

AI will be examined as a tool for telecom networks, business transformation, public services, healthcare, political communication, media, customer service, automation, data analytics, cybersecurity, and new digital products. The discussion will move beyond general observations, focusing on examples, implementation barriers, skills, trust, and governance.

The conference will also highlight AI’s relationship with democracy, the public sphere, journalism, electoral processes, political communication, and information management, in an era where technology increasingly influences how decisions are made and trust is built.

Exhibition, CEO Summit and InfoCom Awards

The exhibition area at InfoCom World 2026 will serve as a meeting place for technology companies, telecommunication providers, ICT vendors, integrators, AI solution providers, cybersecurity companies, cloud and data center providers, startups, institutional bodies and businesses seeking solutions for their digital transformation.

As part of the event, the CEO Summit will bring together the Minister of Digital Governance and the CEOs of telecommunications providers for a meaningful discussion on investments in next-generation networks, the transition to 5G Standalone networks, the expansion of fiber optics, new business models, regulation, AI and the country’s digital competitiveness.

At the same time, the InfoCom Awards 2026 will highlight companies, organizations, projects, infrastructure, applications and individuals that stand out in innovation, digital transformation, advanced telecommunications services, AI, cybersecurity and technological progress.
