Why Participate

Each January, NextGenInfra.io — a collaboration between AvidThink and Converge Digest — brings together visionaries from across AI, networking, photonics, and cloud infrastructure to share what’s next. Our 2025 showcase reached tens of thousands of professionals — and with over 65,000 YouTube subscribers and an expanding global following, Predictions 2026 will be our biggest yet.

You’ll be featured alongside an incredible list of past participants — industry CTOs, founders, analysts, and technologists shaping the AI infrastructure conversation. Your segment will appear in our January 2026 showcase and across our social channels on LinkedIn, X, and YouTube.

Format & Focus

Record a short video — up to 2 minutes — sharing your top 3 predictions for 2026: technology, market, or ecosystem trends that will shape our industry. Make it personal: speak directly to one viewer — your peers, partners, or customers — about what you believe truly matters in 2026.

Authenticity and clarity are key. No slides are needed — just your insights, conviction, and personality. We’ll edit and brand your video with your name, title, and company logo.

How to Record

You can record on your own or schedule a guided session with us.

• 🎥 Record in landscape orientation (horizontal)
