TED Sent a Signal: This week TEDAI San Francisco debuted a new series of intimate, invite-only salons designed to keep the conversation going before and after the main TEDAI SF conference in October. These events, called Signals, have been designed to gather “curious minds, bold thinkers, and industry pioneers to connect, exchange ideas, and shape what’s next.” The first event was co-hosted with IDEO, under the theme: “Human centered design in a machine centered future”. Keep an eye out for future Signals.
Submission Opportunity: MWC25 Las Vegas, in partnership with CTIA will bring together senior IT decision-makers, enterprise CIOs, mobile operators, hyperscalers, and the vendors shaping intelligent infrastructure.

They are seeking enterprise IT thought leaders who can “share real-world case studies, insights and playbooks on evolving enterprise networks with 5G-enabled and AI-powered technologies.” If you have a great topic, suggest it here before the 1 July deadline.
