AI is Speeding up Business

vCons are how your conversations catch up. Most communication systems weren’t built for memory, trust or automation. vCons fix that. Fall ’25 vCon is for builders, developers, product teams, policymakers and customers ready to move. If you’re rethinking how your business talks, listens, remembers or acts - this is your space.

What’s a vCon?

A vCon (Virtualized Conversation) is the first interoperable standard file format for conversations, in the history of the internet.

A vCon captures voice, video, messages and email in one structured, portable, machine-readable file. Built at the IETF, vCons support automation, compliance and better customer experience. vCons work without changing how people talk.

“vCons are the robot food for AI.”

— Thomas Howe, CTO, Vconic and co-author of the vCon Specification

Why Now?

This isn’t five years out. It’s live. Companies are using vCons today. Call centers. Regulated industries. Enterprise messaging. AI pipelines. This isn’t just innovation. It’s infrastructure.

Who’s Coming?

People building the tech. People buying it. This is also a place to build partnerships, explore proof-of-concepts and grow your business.

Fall ’25 vCon is the flagship event for the vCon ecosystem. If you haven’t subscribed to The Pulver vCon Report, now’s the time. Join us in Washington, DC. Help shape what comes next.
