This main FITCE.be symposium of 2020 will give a state of affairs on 5G. What is happening in Belgium and what are successful use cases? What are the key technological evolutions under 5G? What is the status around regulation in Belgium? What are other challenges Belgian players face in their ambition to roll out 5G?

After a first attempt of rescheduling the original event from March 2020 to October 2020 in order to overcome the limitations imposed by the COVID-19 crisis on live gatherings, FITCE.be has now decided to go fully virtual with this event. With the support of TMAB Business Events, we will bring the original content to you in a top-notch online experience. With professional recordings from a studio, you will be able to listen to a series of high-profile speakers bringing their respective experience and insights in those topics.

We have split the event over 2 afternoon sessions, each from 14h-18h, with the first one on Wed October 14 focusing on the technology and different views on 5G, and the second one on Wed October 21 focusing on use cases and prerequisites for a successful rollout.

As networking is always a key point of any FITCE.be event, we have also included a networking platform to allow you to meet with speakers and other attendees before, during and after the event. This is delivered in collaboration with a young Belgian startup, called Conversation Starter.

If you are in any way professionally involved in 5G, then our online symposium is an event you cannot miss. Want visibility? Check the sponsorship possibilities

Missed the first session? Don't worry, by registering, you will also get access to the recordings of the 14.10 sessions.
