NETWORKING AT MVNO NATION EUROPE 2026
Padel Tournament
Not every business relationship needs to start over coffee. Join fellow delegates on the court for our Padel Tournament, running during the Pre-Event Workshop Day and again on Day 1 afternoon (16:00–19:00). Whether you’re a seasoned player or picking up a racket for the first time, it’s a relaxed, competitive way to build real connections away from the conference floor — because some of the best conversations happen mid-rally, not mid-panel.
Speed Networking Sessions
Make every coffee break count. Our structured speed networking sessions are built directly into the schedule, giving you fast, focused face-time with the people you actually want to meet:
- Day 1: Speed networking for MVNOs and MNOs with technology providers
- Day 2: Dedicated MNO–MVNO speed networking
No wandering the room hoping for the right introduction — these sessions are designed to get you in front of relevant contacts quickly, so you leave with new conversations already started.
Networking Lunches
Every single day of MVNO Nation Europe includes a dedicated networking lunch. These aren’t just meal breaks — they’re built-in time to catch up with speakers, connect with sponsors, and follow up on conversations from the morning’s sessions, without the pressure of a formal meeting.
Welcome Drinks
Ease into the event at our Welcome Drinks reception on Day 1 evening (18:00). After a full day of keynotes and panels, this is your chance to unwind, meet fellow delegates in a relaxed setting, and set the tone for the rest of the conference — no agenda, just good conversation.
Changemakers' Roundtables
For those who want to go deeper than a panel discussion allows, our Changemakers’ Roundtables offer small-group, topic-led conversations across both Day 1 and Day 2 afternoons. Pick the table that matters most to your business, including topics like:
- How MVNOs are using AI, data, and machine learning to grow ARPU sustainably
- Monetising AI as an MVNO
- Moving from legacy platforms to AI-enabled transformation
- 5G SA rollout, network slicing, and private networks
- Security in the evolution of MVNO networks
- Planning for the shift to 5.5G and 6G
Each roundtable is moderated by an industry expert, and groups share their key takeaways at the end of the session — so you leave not just with new contacts, but new ideas.
MVNO Nation Awards
Cap off Day 2 at the MVNO Nation Awards (18:30) — a celebration of the innovation, leadership, and impact shaping the MVNO industry this year. With new categories recognising AI-powered solutions, embedded connectivity, and business model innovation, plus the launch of the MVNO Nation Leaders Awards, this evening brings together this year’s shortlisted MVNOs, sponsors, and industry leaders for a high-energy night of recognition and celebration — and one of the best networking moments of the entire event.
Shark Tank
Watch the industry’s next big ideas take shape live. In our Shark Tank session (Day 2, 16:30), aspiring MVNOs pitch their business plans to a panel of experienced judges — consultants, investors, and marketing experts who’ve spent years in the MVNO ecosystem. The winner is announced at the MVNO Nation Awards later that evening. It’s a fantastic conversation starter, and a great way to spot rising talent and new business models before anyone else does.

Champagne & Recharge Breakfasts
Start Day 2 and Day 3 the right way. Our Champagne Breakfast (Day 2) and Coffee & Recharge Breakfast (Day 3) give you a relaxed, low-key setting to catch fellow delegates before the day’s sessions kick off — ideal for those conversations that never quite happen once the agenda gets going.
