Policy meets practice
The morning examines U.S. AI and telecom policy. The afternoon showcases what is happening today in VoiceAI, followed by demonstrations and conversations about human oversight, identity, compliance, memory and trust.
Who should attend
VON Policy Summit brings together regulators, government officials, public policy specialists, attorneys, communications industry leaders, technologists and enterprise customers.
It is for people shaping the rules, building the technology and deciding how AI communications will work in practice. Whether your focus is competition, consumer protection, consent, fraud prevention or bringing new services to market, this is a place to connect policy with experience.
