The PTC Annual Conference once again reaffirmed its position as the industry’s premier gathering, marking its fourth consecutive year of recordbreaking participation. Thousands of global leaders and innovators convened in Honolulu to connect, exchange ideas and advance the future of digital infrastructure. The conference reflected continued growth and strong demand for a forum that brings together the world’s most influential voices across telecommunications, data centers, cloud, subsea, AI infrastructure and emerging technologies. Participants from more than 60 countries, nations and territories took part in PTC’26, reflecting the event’s global reach and the increasingly interconnected nature of the industry. “PTC’26 reflects the scale and urgency of the conversations happening across our industry right now,” said Brian Moon, CEO of PTC. “The pace of registration shows that leaders see real value in coming together to address what’s next for digital infrastructure.” Featuring more than 75 sessions and 330 speakers, PTC’26 offered attendees a comprehensive program designed to balance strategic insight, technical expertise and forward-looking discussion. From Center Stage and the new Alaka‘i Stage, to Topical Sessions, Lightning Talks and specialty workshops, the conference addressed key challenges and opportunities shaping the digital infrastructure ecosystem at a time of rapid transformation. Education at the Forefront: Preparing Tomorrow’s Industry Leaders Education remained a cornerstone of PTC’s mission at PTC’26, with two fully booked professional development programs. The Top Talent Leadership Development Program, delivered in partnership with Columbia Business School, returned for its second year, offering executivelevel insights and practical frameworks for navigating an evolving global landscape. “PTC Beyond - The Academy Master Class” also returned, providing professionals with deeper exposure to the technical, operational and strategic fundamentals shaping the industry. by Carolyn Pohl DELIVERS UNMATCHED GLOBAL CONNECTION AND INDUSTRY MOMENTUM PTC’26 EDGE TO CLOUD 44 CHANNELVISION | WINTER 2026
