Monday 22nd September 2025

09:00 – 20:00 (including lunch and dinner)

The 6G forum is a dynamic and interactive one-day event to bring you up to date with the latest developments in wireless communications. There will be interesting keynote presentations on applications, standardization, spectrum management and advanced microwave and antenna technologies. We will address the ongoing discussions on which frequency bands will be most commercially successful. In addition, there will be several live demos showing recent technological developments on the road to 6G. In addition, there will be plenty of room for discussion and networking. The event includes a networking lunch and dinner, which is sponsored by the Dutch FNS-6G program.
