World Broadband Association

Join us at the upcoming WBBA Broadband Development Congress (BDC) in Shanghai on 25th June 2026. We'll be looking at key topics including Scaling Intelligence: Capturing Value from AI-Powered Broadband and Cloud. The convergence of AI, broadband, and cloud infrastructure is creating a new paradigm for value creation - one where tokens, intelligent workloads, and next-generation networks redefine how we utilise and monetise connectivity. Join industry leaders and technology innovators as they explore breakthrough approaches to capturing value from AI-powered infrastructure, building sustainable business models for agentic AI, and aligning network investments with the demands of the token economy.
