IEEE 5G Roadmap Workshop at ICC 2017

Registration for the IEEE 5G Roadmap Workshop: http://icc2017.ieee-icc.org/content/additional-registration

The IEEE 5G Initiative will be holding a 5G Roadmap Workshop on 25 May 2017 in Paris, France from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM . The workshop is co-located with ICC 2017. The workshop is in room Wagram 1, and breakout sessions are in room Wagram 2 of the Le Meridien. 

The mission of the IEEE 5G Initiative Roadmap is as follows: 

Based on horizon scanning, interviews and expert knowledge, the mission of the 5G Roadmap working group is to identify short (~3 years), mid-term (~5 years) and long-term (~10 years) research, innovation and technology trends in the communications ecosystem. This will enable the development of a concrete innovation and engagement roadmap guiding the IEEE community towards maximum impact contributions across its societies, and in conjunction with its demand-side as well as the wider industry and standards ecosystem. The outcome shall be a live document with a clear set of (accountable) recommendations; the document shall be updated annually and be developed in conjunction with the other working groups.

The workshop will be based on an IEEE 5G Roadmap Whitepaper that is currently in development. The agenda for the workshop is as follows:
