International Telecoms Week was launched in 2008, in close cooperation with the 21 largest voice carriers globally at the time, to provide a platform for the entire digital infrastructure community to meet, conduct business and drive change across the industry.
Now, ITW is etched in the diaries of over 2,000 companies and 7,000 attendees, 50% of whom are at director and c-suite level, as the must-attend event for anyone involved in the telecoms and ICT infrastructure space. The event plays host to thousands of meetings across three days where business critical agreements are signed, key alliances are formed, and new partnerships
are announced.
ITW has also expanded to Africa and Asia in recent years. ITW Africa launched in Nairobi, Kenya in 2023 with 800+ attendees from across the continent and beyond, while ITW Asia will debut in Singapore in December 2024.
ITW returns to the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center on 5-7 May 2025.
