BOSTON, MA - September 8, 2026 - Cavell, the independent research and consulting firm serving the cloud communications ecosystem, has announced Cavell Summit North America 2026, taking place on 13 October 2026 at Harvard University’s David Rubenstein Treehouse in Boston.

The one-day summit will bring together 250+ senior leaders from across the North American UCaaS, CCaaS and cloud communications market for independent insight, candid discussion and high-value networking. The programme is designed to help communications providers, MSPs, channel resellers, technology vendors and investors assess where growth will come from, how AI is reshaping the market, and which business models, partnerships and strategies are best positioned for the years ahead.

With disruption now a constant feature of the communications market, Cavell Summit North America will focus on the commercial decisions leaders need to make today. Sessions will examine growth and margin pressure, changing customer expectations, new technology models, verticalization, partnerships and the continuing value of core communications services.

“The communications market is entering a period in which disruption is not a temporary phase, but the operating environment. Cavell Summit North America gives industry leaders the independent data, direct peer discussion and relationships they need to make confident decisions about growth.” Matthew Townend, Managing Director, Cavell
