Radio spectrum is the invisible backbone of the modern world, and the 12th European Spectrum Management Forum is the definitive venue for those who manage it. Taking place in Cardiff, this three-day seminar brings together the "who’s who" of the telecommunications industry, from national regulators to satellite operators and mobile network providers. As the race for 6G intensifies and the demand for satellite-to-device (D2D) connectivity skyrockets, this forum provides the critical space for technical and policy alignment.
The 2026 edition of the forum is particularly crucial as it follows major international frequency allocation decisions. The program features technical workshops on spectrum sharing, interference mitigation, and the utilization of higher frequency bands for ultra-fast broadband. Delegates will hear from the ITU, the RSPG, and leading industry bodies about the roadmap for the next decade of wireless communication. The forum also tackles the "Sovereign Cloud" and "Direct-to-Device" policy frameworks that are reshaping how data is transmitted across borders.
Beyond the technicalities, the event focuses on the socio-economic impact of spectrum policy. How can we ensure rural connectivity while meeting the massive data demands of smart cities? How does spectrum management play into national security and defense? These questions will be at the heart of the "Policy Plenary" sessions. With exhibitors showcasing the latest in signal testing and spectrum monitoring technology, the European Spectrum Management Forum is an essential calendar event for anyone involved in the hardware, software, or policy of telecommunications.
