Voice becomes memory.
Messaging becomes action.
vCons make conversations usable for AI.
Business runs on conversation. Every customer interaction, every agent call, every transaction begins with a voice or a message. AI has changed what happens next.
Fall '26 Voice and Conversations on the Net brings together the carriers, platforms, enterprises, and standards community defining the future of AI Communication.
Three days. One building. The people doing the work.
VON (Voice on the Net) has been the room where the future of communication gets defined. Fall '26 Voice and Conversations on the Net is where that conversation turns to AI.
Fall '26 Voice and Conversations on the Net is focused on the emergence of AI Communication, where intelligent systems don’t just respond. They remember, govern intent, and act responsibly over time.
“vCons are the robot food for AI.”
