An anti-conference for the people actually building conversational messaging. Live demos, real building, real numbers. One room in New York, once a year.
Yes, a messaging summit that bans phones. That's the point. The best thinking about conversation happens when you're in one. Phones come out only in the permitted windows. The light tells you which way it's swinging.
Nobody ever watched a panel and changed how they work. We cut them entirely.
No decks read aloud. Show the thing running, or don't take the floor.
Agents on real numbers, in front of the room. If it breaks on stage, that's the most honest moment of the day.
Open hacking time, on the clock. Wire up an agent across SMS, RCS and WhatsApp before the day ends.
No FOMO hallway. No B-room. The whole room moves together, all day.
Every number on screen names its deployment. No "up to," no "industry-leading," no vibes.
Badges and caffeine. Phones still allowed. Get the posting out of your system now.
The room goes heads-up. Opening shot: messaging went conversational. Now prove it runs.
One brain across RCS and Apple Messages for Business, demoed live on real traffic. No edits, no happy path.
A deep dive into the data from live deployments: conversational vs. broadcast conversion, containment and escalation rates, the economics of speed-to-lead. Every figure names its deployment.
Thirty minutes. Phones on. Post the hot take, then put it away.
Hands on keyboards. Wire a live agent across SMS, RCS and WhatsApp before the clock runs out.
What you just built goes on the big screen, and Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T take it apart, live. Unfiltered feedback from the people who decide whether your traffic delivers.
Consent, 10DLC, and the new question: who answers when an autonomous agent sends the message?
Lights green. Drinks out. The conversations that started in the room keep going.
No keynote circuit. The floor goes to operators with something running in production. Slots open below. Bring the live thing.

Yes, and on purpose. The best thinking about conversation happens when you're in one, not photographing a slide. Phones come out in the permitted windows (doors, lunch, and the reception); the rest of the day is heads-up. A light at the front of the room tells you which way it's swinging.
Because nobody ever watched six people agree on stage and changed how they work on Monday. We replaced every panel with live demos, hands-on building, and data with sources attached.
October 14, 2026, in New York City. The venue is finalized and announced to applicants first, ahead of any public note. Capped at 150 in one room.
Operators running conversational messaging in production, the platform and carrier teams who own the rails, builders shipping agents, and the compliance minds keeping it trusted. If you can show it running live, you belong here.
The people driving messaging: the carriers (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T), the platform owners (Apple, Google), industry bodies like the CTIA, and the operators and builders running conversational agents in production. Capped at 150, curated by application, so every seat is someone worth talking to.
