Recently, IEEE Communications Society has developed a strategic framework based on the principles that embrace Industry's interests and priorities while integrating IEEE and ComSoc's objectives. In order to engage industry members with high value and innovative technologies, IEEE Communications Society plans to hold a series of high impact one day Summits in emerging technology areas (e.g., SDN/NFV, 5G, IoT, Big Data, and Cybersecurity). The first summit was held at Princeton University in May 2015 (see photos, slides, and videos) followed by 5G summits at Toronto and Silicon Valley in 2015. The upcoming IEEE Shanghai 5G Summit will be held at Shanghai Jiao Tong Univeristy on Friday, July 28, 2017. This one day summit will provide a platform for the industry leaders, innovators, and researchers from the industry and academic community to collaborate and exchange ideas in this emerging technology that may help in driving the standards and rapid deployment. For the first time, this summit will be held together with IEEE 5G Tutorials on July 27, 2017 (link to 5G tutorial).
The Shanghai 5G Summit is co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Shanghai Section and Univeristy of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
