Thu 21 May 2026 | 16:00 - 22:00 | Orange (Brussels) Fitce Café
Network Resilience in the Age of Disruption

A hot topic at the moment: network resilience. A convivial evening with fascinating talks and nice encounters over tasty bites and drinks.

In times of disruption by AI, with shifting geopolitics, and powerful new technologies but also societal dependance on telecom networks, it is important to be aware of the critical role of telecoms in today's society. Fitce invites key speakers and industry leaders to share views and exchange ideas on how to make our telecommunication networks, and by extension our society, more resilient for risks in times when technology seems to enable, and even drive a lot of what we do.
