The Hilton Panamá will bring together telecom operators, regulators and providers from the region on 17 and 18 November. Topics include 5G, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and regulation towards 2030, along with the Conecta LATAM Awards.
The Hilton Panamá will host Conecta LATAM Caribbean & Central America 2026, 5G, Digital Transformation & Innovation Summit, on 17 and 18 November, as reported by IPANDETEC. Over two days, the forum will gather executives from operators, regulators and technology providers from Panama, Latin America and the Caribbean to examine the future of the sector towards 2030.
The organisers describe an industry under pressure: data demand is growing faster than revenue per user. Added to this are the arrival of artificial intelligence agents, the need to simplify legacy systems and new requirements on security and digital identity. More than 200 executives have registered, about 70% from operators, along with public bodies such as ASEP, Colombia's CRC and Brazil's ANATEL.
The first day will cover Latin American market trends, autonomous networks, data centres, satellites, energy and artificial intelligence, and the role of operators as providers of digital solutions for businesses. The second will open with a regulatory panel on regulatory modernisation, investment incentives and closing connectivity gaps. Other topics include 5G monetisation, satellite connectivity, cybersecurity in autonomous networks and the impact of artificial intelligence on business.
On 17 November, at the close of the first day, the fifth edition of the Conecta LATAM Awards will take place, with 14 categories, two more than in 2025: Best MVNO and Best Datacenter. A jury will assess the finalist projects, while the Telecommunications Professional of the Year category is decided by public vote, open until 9 November.
