BRANDED CALLING SUMMIT 2026 is a special webinar series to be held the week
of May 18, 2026; SIPNOC 2026, the 15th Annual SIP Network Operators
Conference, will feature in-person proceedings September 15-17, 2026 in

The SIP Forum <https://www.sipforum.org/>  is proud to announce its event
lineup for 2026, which includes a reprise of the virtual BRANDED CALLING
SUMMIT, a special webinar series focused on the emerging new breed of
communications services that allow businesses to brand their outbound
communications with additional context in the caller ID so call recipients
can know and trust who's calling. In addition to business name and number,
additional call information can include a logo, reason for the call, and a
checkmark indicating the call has been authenticated and not spoofed.

The
<https://www.sipforum.org/news-events/branded-calling-summit-2026-overview/>
BRANDED CALLING SUMMIT 2026 is scheduled to be held the week of May 18,
2026, and will focus on new Branded Calling solutions, opportunities and
best practices; the associated benefits, issues and challenges involving
effective identity verification in the branded calling ecosystem; the status
of RCD standards work; as well as current governmental regulatory,
enforcement and legislative actions and considerations such as the Federal
Communications Commission October 2025 Call Branding Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking and related industry comments.

SIPNOC 2026 <https://www.sipforum.org/news-events/sipnoc-2026-overview/> , a
three-day live and in-person educational conference, will be held on
September 15-17, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Dulles Hotel in Herndon, VA, and
will continue and expand its focus on the broad Call Authentication and
identity verification ecosystem, including STIR/SHAKEN, Call Analytics and
Vetting, Branded Calling and Rich Call Data, International Traceback and
STIR/SHAKEN adoption, KYC initiatives, Enterprise requirements and
challenges, SMS Text Authentication initiatives, new AI-powered
communications applications, associated International, U.S. Federal and
State regulatory, legislative and enforcement actions, and much more. 

Developed jointly by the SIP Forum and ATIS (the Alliance for
Telecommunications Industry Solutions) to efficiently implement the Internet
Engineering Task Force's (IETF) STIR (for Secure Telephony Identity
Revisited) standard, SHAKEN
<https://www.sipforum.org/activities/nni-task-force-introduction/>  (for
Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs) defines a
mechanism to verify the calling number and specifies how it will be
transported across communications networks. 

 

Together, the STIR/SHAKEN Call Authentication Framework offers a practical
mechanism to provide verified information about the calling party as well as
the origin of the call - what is known as "attestation" - for the first time
in the network. Giving service providers the tools needed to sign and verify
calling numbers makes it possible for businesses and consumers to know,
before answering, that the calls they receive are from legitimate parties.

BRANDED CALLING SUMMIT 2026 and SIPNOC 2026 attendees will include
telecommunications providers, major backbone operators, interconnect and
wholesale solution providers, ISPs, ITSPs (Internet Telephony Service
Providers), cable operators, hosted and managed services providers, wireless
network operators, International PTTs,  and large enterprises, as well as
key industry stakeholders in the Robocall/Robotext and Caller ID Spoofing
elimination/mitigation ecosystem, including governmental regulators,
enforcers and legislators; equipment manufacturers; customer care and
contact center operators; application providers; data analytics firms;
regulatory attorneys with State and Federal Jurisdictions; Device
Integration Specialists; Service Assurance and IT/communication staff; and
AI-powered solutions providers.
