What you likely need
You're a rare Technical Fellow with the research credibility and network to move fluidly into advisory, board, and venture roles — but most of the right people don't yet think of you in those contexts. The highest-value Festival events for you are small, trust-heavy dinners and roundtables that put you in the room with telecom-focused VCs, edge and wireless startup founders, and industry operators who can immediately recognize your domain authority. Getting seen outside the academic conference circuit and into investor and practitioner spaces is the unlock.
