Voice and Conversations on the Net
The AI Communication Industry Conference
Voice becomes memory.Messaging becomes action.vCons make conversations usable for AI.
Curated and hosted by Jeff PulverProducing the conversations of this industry since 1996
Early-bird pricing ends August 28. Save up to $475.
Business runs on conversation. Every customer interaction, every agent call, every transaction begins with a voice or a message. AI has changed what happens next.
Fall '26 Voice and Conversations on the Net brings together the carriers, platforms, enterprises, and standards community defining the future of AI Communication.
Our focus is on the emergence of AI Communication, where intelligent systems do not simply respond. These systems remember, govern intent, and act responsibly.

The Community That Built This Industry
Curating events since 1996. It is one of my life’s passions: looking at what is happening in tech, and building conferences to explore the future.
From 1997 until 2008, Voice on the Net (“VON”) was the VoIP industry conference. More than 5,000 people twice a year in the US, with show floors that sold out in San Jose and Boston.
I never stopped. Fourteen events since 2023 alone. This is not our first rodeo.
In 2026 we keep it intimate. The community, the experience, helping people connect the dots, drive business, build and grow relationships.
I helped grow the VoIP industry. Along the way I started a number of organizations, including Vonage, Vivox and VON Coalition. I am the person behind the Pulver Order, the FCC ruling that kept internet voice unregulated.
We are living in the Renaissance of Voice. And you can't spell renaissance without AI.
