VON: Evolution Events Inc
SPRING '26 vCon
Voice and Conversations on the Net
The AI Communication Conference

MARCH 23rd - 26th
Dallas, Texas
Spring ’26 vCon is curated and hosted by Jeff Pulver
Voice becomes memory.
Messaging becomes action.
vCons make conversations usable for AI.
​​
Spring ’26 vCon is designed to do for AI Communication what the early VON conferences did for Internet Telephony - Turn Possibility Into an Ecosystem.
​
Spring ’26 vCon is where the AI Communication Industry comes together to define how conversations are captured, structured, governed, and used in enterprise systems.
​
vCons (Virtualized Conversations) turn voice and messaging into portable, machine-readable memory objects that power automation, compliance, analytics, and AI-driven workflows, without surrendering control or consent.
​
vCons are being built and used today. Standardization continues at the IETF, with early deployments in contact centers, regulated industries, and enterprise platforms
​
Spring ’26 vCon is focused on the emergence of AI Communication, where intelligent systems don’t just respond. They remember, govern intent, and act responsibly over time.
​

“vCons are the robot food for AI.”
— Thomas Howe, CTO, Vconic
co-author of the vCon Specification
