The second Edge Congress USA has been announced for 6th November at Fair Market in downtown Austin, Texas.

With the increasing need to have a truly connected world, the Edge USA congress will assess the next steps in the edge computing ecosystem and towards the emergence of edge-as-a-service.

This year's programme will hear from the eco-system of users and service providers of Edge, the developer, technical and commercial issues they confront, the use of AI, and the scale of infrastructure requirements as data processing, content, storage and analytics inexorably moves to the Edge where completely new services will be created and delivered.

"Edge is a profound change for decades to come and a transformative shift in digital infrastructure, connecting us and enabling new ways of analysing and managing data, critical to local infrastructure operations enabled by 5G and AI. Our congress will discuss all avenues of implementing, the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead and going forward towards Edge as a service," said Philip Low, chairman of BroadGroup.

"It's a valuable opportunity for players engaged in Edge to interact, network and drive new business opportunities within the digital infrastructure," he added.

Sponsors already on-board for the event include EdgeConneX, Schneider Electric, Rittal, DartPoints, Stulz, Ubersmith, Edge Micro, CPG, Turner, Datacenter People and CNet Training. We have also partnered with BISCI, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), Infrastructure Masons, EUDCA, and charity partner Télécoms Sans Frontières.

Edge congress provides a global platform for new technologies and services, and an informative and engaging program with visionary thought leaders, and a place to network and do deals.
