PacketFront Connected Conference

2-3 June, 2026

From Transformation to Acceleration - Building the Future Together

Welcome to PacketFront Connected Conference 2026!
.....................................................................................

A place to come together and move forward with purpose
PacketFront Connected was created as a place to connect, exchange perspectives, and look ahead together with people shaping networks, platforms, and partnerships in practice. A focused gathering designed for meaningful conversations. PacketFront Connected 2026 marks another chapter in a larger journey, one shaped by progress, collaboration, and a shared ambition to build something that lasts.

Where orchestration meets insight
At the core of PacketFront is the connection between network orchestration and business intelligence, bringing structure and clarity to complex networks and business processes. Through our platforms, BECS (OSS) and BBE (BSS), we help operators bring structure, visibility, and control to advanced network environments and operational workflows.

What is evolving is not the purpose, but how far that reach now extends. As networks grow more demanding and expectations continue to rise, we are broadening how our solutions work together, reshaping how orchestration, operations, and insight come together in practice. The result is greater clarity, stronger security, and a foundation that supports both technical and business growth.

From change to momentum - Building for the long term
Quality, reliability, and long-term thinking remain at the heart of everything we do. Step by step, we continue to turn complexity into clarity, helping you build networks that give you greater control and peace of mind.

Over the past year, we’ve evolved together, refining our platforms, strengthening partnerships, and responding to a faster pace of innovation across the industry. Today, we’re building on that foundation, turning progress into momentum and direction into action, together with customers and partners.
Transformation was an important step. Acceleration is what follows.

Why join us

What acceleration looks like in practice
At PacketFront Connected 2026, we bring customers, partners, and peers together to explore what acceleration really means. You’ll gain insight into how our ecosystem is expanding, how our products continue to evolve, and how collaboration supports the development of smarter, more secure, and more connected networks.

For those already working with us - and those just getting to know us
Whether you already work with PacketFront or are just getting to know us, this conference gives you a clear and practical view of what comes next.

If you’re an existing user, it’s a chance to explore what’s new and see how the next phase of acceleration is taking shape.
If you’re new to PacketFront, this is an opportunity to understand how our approach supports long-term reliability, smarter operations, and confident decision-making, in a relaxed, open setting.

Beyond updates and presentations
PacketFront Connected is about shared perspective and real experience. It’s a space for you to learn from others navigating similar challenges, exchange experience, and explore where the industry is heading. All within an environment designed for openness, trust, and meaningful dialogue.

Welcome!
