Join the conversation make connections

MNIS:NTN
3-4 November 2026

Launching on Tuesday 3rd November 2026, the event will deliver two days of tightly curated discussion focused exclusively on the NTN ecosystem and the convergence of satellite and terrestrial networks.

Just as MNIS Global isn’t your typical one-dimensional, keynote-driven conference, so MNIS:NTN is not a broad-brush webinar series.

Building on MNIS’ acclaimed and innovative formats, this virtual event is a high-value, senior-level industry forum designed around meaningful discussion, strategic insight and commercially relevant engagement.

Accelerating NTN Ecosystem Innovation

The boundaries between terrestrial and non-terrestrial connectivity are disappearing. Satellite communications is no longer operating at the edge of the telecoms conversation. It is rapidly becoming part of the mainstream network roadmap. Direct-to-device services, hybrid coverage models, sovereign communications infrastructure, resilient backhaul, IoT expansion and space-based compute are reshaping how operators, vendors and investors think about the future of connectivity.

  • Which architectures will scale commercially?
  • How will operators balance terrestrial and NTN investments?
  • What role will 3GPP standardisation play versus proprietary innovation?
  • How will spectrum, sovereignty and regulation evolve?
  • Which business models will deliver meaningful returns?
  • What does the user experience need to look like for NTN services to achieve mass adoption?

MNIS:NTN has been created to explore these questions with the people actively shaping the market.

Why This Audience Matters

The NTN market remains relatively concentrated compared with broader telecoms sectors. That creates a rare commercial environment:

• Smaller audience

• Higher strategic value

• Greater seniority concentration

• More direct access to decision-makers

• Less noise than large-scale trade events

MNIS:NTN is designed around quality of engagement rather than volume alone.

Sponsors are positioned directly within the conversations shaping the future of hybrid connectivity.

The organisations shaping this market today will influence:

 • Future operator strategies

 • Device ecosystems

 • Standards development

 • Infrastructure investment

 • Enterprise connectivity models

 • National communications resilience

MNIS:NTN positions sponsors directly within these conversations.

Sponsors Benefit From

  • High-Value Audience Access
  • Direct engagement with senior decision-makers actively evaluating NTN opportunities and partnerships.
  • Thought Leadership Positioning
