DRIVING THE NEW ERA HIGH GROWTH APPLICATIONS

December 9th-12th 2019

Computer History Museum, Mountain View

Join us at the only conference that brings together the entire edge ecosystem to

accelerate the edge market and build the next generation of the internet.

This new edge computing market is the next evolution of the internet and will scale both capability

and market size 10x. This is a fundamental change that will establish the next era of the internet.

A diverse range of high growth application areas including AI, IoT, NFV, Augmented Reality, cloud

gaming & self-driving vehicles, are creating new demands that cannot be met by existing

infrastructure.

A new solution is required to deal with low latency, application autonomy, data security and

bandwidth thinning, which all require greater capability closer to the point of consumption.

The mission of Edge Computing World is to support the diverse elements of the new edge

computing community. We will bring together all elements of the ecosystem including cloud and

telco communities, with application providers to learn, collaborate and partner as they drive this

new wave of computing capability and deliver on the next generation internet.

I hope you can join us in December.
