About the Event
Nova is a new invite-only summit for technology and connectivity leaders. Sessions are closed-door and run under the Chatham House Rule, so people can speak openly about real business problems without being quoted.
Who Attends
The guest list is C-suite and senior decision-makers: challenger CEOs, venture capital firms, board directors, mobile network operators, technology platform leaders, founders and regulators.
Themes
The agenda sits where technology and telecom meet. It covers business models, partnership structures, capital allocation and governance, and how AI, cloud and mobile connectivity are converging.
