Infinite Edge is a dialogue-driven, professionally hosted experience to maximize engagement and eliminate boredom – plus, you get the opportunity to be part of the show!

A Fully Immersive Digital Experience

Each episode will be broken down into segments, which are carefully designed to bring you an engaging experience. Each three-hour long episode will be delivered in a fast-paced, interactive format. In each episode segment, we’ll dive deep into topics like SD-WAN, edge computing, 5G and digital business transformation. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact directly with our sponsors and MEF leaders before and after each episode.
