What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you across the table from senior telecom and semiconductor dealmakers who can move on a strategic acquisition or growth round for ASSIA. Roundtables anchored by your National Medal of Technology credibility would help you convert that recognition into inbound from Nokia, Ericsson, and Broadcom-tier buyers who haven't yet connected the award to ASSIA's $18M ARR story. Smaller, high-trust dinners with late-stage deep-tech investors and Marconi Society peers would also accelerate both PhyTunes' seed round and ASSIA's exit readiness narrative.
