This year’s event will have the theme ‘Evolving the Ecosystem.’ Discussing the conference in a statement, the organisers said: "The programme theme for 2022 will focus on how the ecosystem needs to evolve to keep up with the changing requirements of mission critical operations. [This includes] standardisation, security, infrastructure, network developments and investment needs and opportunities”.

A spokesperson for the organisers added: “Technology developments and user requirements are driving change in mission critical communications around the world. Critical Communications World is the leading, must-attend event for mission- and business-critical end users, operators and manufacturers.

“We encourage proposals from end users/operators, and with real-life use cases. We are particularly encouraging early career and young professionals to join the conference programme. If you would like to share your research and innovations, and exchange ideas with the leading experts in the world, this is your chance!”
