Registration is now open for Small Cells World Summit (SCWS) 2026, which returns to the Shaw Theatre and conference suite at Pullman London St Pancras on 2-3 June 2026.
Forecast as a defining year for small cells, with demand growing at pace, the reality of future deployment figures will be determined by the choices and decisions made by the industry this year. The agenda and discussions at SCWS will have a significant role to play in shaping the commercial outlook for 2027-2030.
The agenda, designed to encourage open discussion and engage all parties to further shared goals, is set around seven core themes:
- The expanding small cells ecosystem: an industry in growth
- Connectivity blueprints for public places: from planning to reality
- Next generation networks for venues: the new wave of connectivity demand
- Open networks and sharing frameworks: are we nearly there?
- Future networks: from AI to satellites
- Private, enterprise and edge networks
- Neutral host in-building solutions and mission critical applications
The conference promises to once again bring together all stakeholders in the industry, from MNOs and neutral hosts to vendors, regulators and policymakers, as well as those who require and use connectivity, such as local authorities and venue owners. It’s the perfect opportunity to network with peers and hear the very latest thinking on a wide range of topics affecting the industry.
Simon Fletcher, Chief Strategy Officer at Small Cell Forum (SCF), which curates the SCWS agenda, said:
“This year, the agenda we have created will draw together leading figures from around the world, connecting those who require connectivity, with those who provide it. We are set to hear insightful discussions and debate around some of the biggest issues in our industry – deployment of shared networks, connectivity for local authorities, AI RAN and Edge AI, and the future of 6G rollout and non-terrestrial networks. I can’t wait to see what’s discussed and what direction the debate takes.”
Throughout the conference, SCF will also host a number of targeted workshops including “Globalizing network sharing frameworks”, in collaboration with the UK JOTS Forum, and “Local Authority connectivity”, an invite-only breakfast briefing for local authorities. The first evening of SCWS will include an open networking drinks reception, followed by the SCF Mobile Network Awards ceremony and reception.
