October 13-15, 2026 Atlanta, Georgia Voice and Conversations on the Net The AI Communication Industry Conference The RenAIssance of Voice has arrived. Voice becomes memory. Memory becomes action. vCons give every conversation a file AI can use. Early-bird pricing ends August 28 . Save up to $475 . Curated and hosted by Jeff Pulver Producing the conversations of this industry since 1996 Register · ticket prices Voice was always the killer app. The business models broke. The network got cheap. And the conversation disappeared the moment the call ended. AI changed all three of those things. Now voice agents can remember. Conversations can become structured records that agents can act on. The network has to be rebuilt for quality, not just cost. vCons make all of it possible. Voice and Conversations on the Net is where the people building that future come together. We are living in the RenAIssance of Voice. You can't spell RenAIssance without AI. October 13 through 15. Atlanta, Georgia. The generation that built internet voice and the generation building AI voice, in the same room, figuring out how this all comes together. vCons are the robot food for AI. Thomas McCarthy-Howe CTO CTO, vConic · co-author of the vCon Specification Jeff Pulver The Community That Built This Industry Curating events since 1996. It is one of my life's passions: looking at what is happening in tech, and building conferences to explore the future. From 1997 until 2008, Voice on the Net (“VON”) was the VoIP industry conference. VON brought together more than 5,000 people twice a year in the U.S., with show floors that sold out in San Jose and Boston. In 2026, we keep it intimate. The focus is on the community, the experience, helping people connect the dots, driving business, and building relationships. I helped build Vonage. I am the person behind the Pulver Order, the FCC ruling that kept internet voice unregulated.

Twenty companies present live on October 13. The main conference on October 14 and 15 is built around the problems you are actually solving: carrier infrastructure, enterprise sales cycles, compliance exposure, and the distance between a demo and a deployed product. The carriers, the enterprise buyers, and the investors in this room are the relationships that determine whether your company scales. There is no better room to be in this fall. Carriers, UCaaS, and CPaaS Companies Every AI voice agent runs on your network. The quality of that route determines whether the product works. Least cost routing is the wrong framework for the AI voice era. A new routing philosophy is introduced at this conference. The people in this room are your next customers, partners, and competitors. The session built for your category is on October 14. Enterprise Technology Leaders CIOs, CTOs, and CX leaders are being asked to make decisions about voice AI faster than the industry has answers. The sessions here are built around your questions. The people on stage have production answers from real deployments, not vendor decks: Goldman Sachs, Manulife, Best Buy, VICIdial, SoundHound. Every AI-generated call in the United States is now treated as a robocall under TCPA. The compliance track on October 14 is built around that fact and what it means for your business. Investors Twenty companies on demo day. The full stack in one room: infrastructure, application, compliance, and the enterprise buyers who write the checks. The people who were at VON in 1997 saw what was coming before it showed up in any report. The market map for AI voice becomes visible here first. Compliance Practitioners The legal exposure is real. Five hundred to fifteen hundred dollars per call under TCPA. The EU AI Act requires disclosure before the call begins. The compliance track on October 14 brings together the attorneys, the technologists, and the enterprise buyers who are building consent architecture right now. This is where the framework gets defined. The vCon Community The vCon specification is being written by people in this room. October 13 is your day: the Introduction to vCons Primer, the 2026 vCon Summit, and the Foundation Member Lunch. Stay for October 14 and 15. If you are building on vCon, or deciding whether to, this is where that decision gets made.
