πŸŽ™οΈConference Keynotes

TADSummit, TADHack, and other conference talks introducing or advancing vCon.

vCon got its first sustained public exposure at TADSummit (Telecom Application Developer Summit) and TADHack (the corresponding hackathon). Those venues remain the place where the working group, the vCon Foundation, and the implementer community meet face-to-face. The talks below are organized reverse-chronologically.
