Overview

Join us on Monday, 23 March, at the Le Méridien Etoile Hotel for an immersive afternoon dedicated to the future of networking and technological innovation.

The Telco Tech Club | Paris

The Telco Tech Club offers an exclusive look into the next generation of networking. It’s a strategic deep dive into cutting-edge industry trends and a chance to engage directly with top-tier experts and global thought leaders.

Positioned as an international gateway event, we bring together key players from the Telco sector just one day before the Upperside World Congress (formerly MPLS WC) begins.

  • Solve Challenges: Get direct answers to your most pressing technical hurdles.
  • Network with Peers: Collaborate and exchange insights with industry colleagues.
  • Stay Ahead: Explore how AI-native infrastructure is redefining the landscape.

 

Note: Juniper Networks is now officially part of the HPE group, bringing even more scale and innovation to our networking portfolio.

If you have any questions, please contact Federica Lapalorcia, Marketing Manager.
