VON: Evolution Events Inc
SPRING '26 vCon
The AI Communication Conference

MARCH 23rd - 26th
Dallas, Texas
Spring ’26 vCon is curated and hosted by Jeff Pulver
Voice becomes memory.
Messaging becomes action.
vCons make conversations usable for AI.
​​
Spring ’26 vCon is designed to do for AI Communication what the early VON conferences did for Internet Telephony - Turn Possibility Into an Ecosystem.
​
Spring ’26 vCon is where the AI Communication Industry comes together to define how conversations are captured, structured, governed, and used in enterprise systems.
​
vCons (Virtualized Conversations) turn voice and messaging into portable, machine-readable memory objects that power automation, compliance, analytics, and AI-driven workflows, without surrendering control or consent.
​
vCons are being built and used today. Standardization continues at the IETF, with early deployments in contact centers, regulated industries, and enterprise platforms
​
Spring ’26 vCon 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.”
