Featuring speakers from across the industry, keynotes from operators and industry stakeholders and innovative application demonstrations, the prpl Summit 2023 will be hosted by Orange at their headquarters in Paris on October 23.

We are delighted to welcome Orange as the first official sponsor of the event and would like to thank them for generously hosting the Summit this year.”
