i14y Lab Summit 2026 – 6G Force: Test to Innovate

The i14y Lab Summit 2026 will be different and new, reflecting the changing times and shifting topics, as manifested in our motto for this year: 6G Force: Test to Innovate.
Much will change, but we remain focused on the importance of reliable, repeatable, and reproducible testing as a cornerstone for openness, resilience, and innovation in RAN. Because we believe that 6G will need open interfaces to accelerate development cycles and better integrate research for more and faster innovation.

 

The #summit26 will be collocated with the Berlin 6G Conference, which runs from Sept. 8 to 10, 2026. But we will start a day early with a special workshop at the same venue on the afternoon of Monday, Sept. 7, and be present at the location with various offerings throughout the conference. So, save the date for this #summit26 of new conversations about new horizons in a new setting.
