techUK Telecoms Policy Forum
A half-day, in-person policy forum bringing government, regulators and industry together to work through the choices facing mobile and fixed networks.
About this event
Background
The UK’s digital infrastructure is fundamental to our digital economy, connecting homes, businesses, and critical services across the nation. As demand for high-speed, reliable connectivity continues to grow, the policy and regulatory environment governing infrastructure deployment has never been more important.
From fibre rollout and mobile network densification to data centre capacity and resilience planning, the decisions we make today about telecoms infrastructure will shape the UK's economic competitiveness and connectivity for decades to come.
This forum brings together senior industry and policy leaders from across the telecoms infrastructure ecosystem to examine the questions that will define successful network deployment and operation.
As the UK works to achieve its connectivity ambitions and build a more resilient digital infrastructure, this event provides a platform for industry to surface challenges, identify policy solutions, and shape the regulatory environment that will enable successful deployment.
Why attend?
Telecoms infrastructure policy directly impacts the pace, cost, and feasibility of network deployment across the UK. From local planning decisions to national policy frameworks, the policy and regulatory environment shapes every aspect of infrastructure build.
This forum offers a unique opportunity to engage with policymakers and fellow infrastructure leaders on the practical barriers and enablers to deployment. Whether you're deploying fibre, building mobile sites, managing data centres, or providing enabling infrastructure, the discussions here will directly affect your ability to deploy, operate and maintain critical networks.
