50th anniversary of the Marconi Society.
Against the beautiful backdrop of Bologna, we anticipate a gathering of luminaries and visionaries who will convene to honor our 2024 Marconi Prize recipient, Teresa Meng, our Paul Baran Young Scholars, and celebrate the remarkable strides made in the realm of information and communications technology.
The 2024 Awards Gala and Executive Forum are by invitation only. To register, you must be a Marconi Society member by August 30, 2024. For more information, or to express your interest in attending, please contact us at events@marconisociety.org
