Why this conclave, and why now.
The rapid advancement of 5G communication technologies is transforming industries through ultra-low latency, massive connectivity, and high data rates. The School of Electronics Engineering, VIT Chennai, in association with the Department of Telecommunications, Chennai, is convening an Industry Conclave to explore emerging opportunities and challenges in next-generation wireless systems.
The conclave brings together industry experts, researchers, academicians, innovators and students for two days of knowledge exchange, deployment stories, and honest conversation about the road to Beyond 5G and 6G. Proudly supported by IET as principal sponsor.
Four tracks, one conclave
Parallel paths across both days — keynotes, builds, papers, and hands-on labs.
Keynotes, technical talks, and an expert panel on 5G deployment and the road to 6G — the throughline across both days.
A two-day build competition — introductory session, three evaluation rounds, and a valedictory prize ceremony.
Paper presentations and live demos, culminating in a Project EXPO open to workshop participants.
Hands-on sessions covering wireless fundamentals from 1G to 5G, led by industry practitioners.
