Elevating Industry Insights: The Power of Analyst and Advisory Partners at CASA25

In a world where industry events can sometimes feel like a parade of pay-to-play sponsor presentations, CASA25 takes a different approach.

While we absolutely love our C-level participants and sponsors for their incredible insights, we also believe in balancing the program with perspectives and panel sessions from top industry analysts and impact-driven consultants. This helps us keep the focus on learning, sharing, and connecting—rather than presenting and selling—and ensures our attendees walk away engaged and with fresh ideas and real value.

And let’s be honest, the fact that these world-class analysts choose to partner with us? That speaks volumes about the quality and impact of the event!

We’re thrilled to welcome an incredible lineup of analysts this year, including:

  • Raul Castanon – S&P Global
  • Melissa Holtz – IDC
  • Darius Singh – STL Partners
  • Andrew Collinson – Connective Insight
  • Nick Lane – MobileSquared

These brilliant minds bring a wealth of insight and energy, helping shape conversations that push our industry forward.

Alongside them, we’re lucky to work with some fantastic advisory partners who are all about making impact happen. These include Mach49, Match-Maker Ventures, Creo Solutions, The Next Cloud, and McKinsey. They’re committed to helping our members turn inspiration into action—with strategies that work and stories that resonate.

Together, this vibrant mix of analysts and consultants transforms CASA25 into something more than a conference. It becomes a hub of collaboration, innovation, and momentum for the future of communications.

Stay tuned for more updates!

CASA25: The Final Chapter of the CPaaS Trilogy?

Every trilogy has its moment of truth. For the CPaaS Acceleration Alliance, CASA25 is that moment. After a first chapter full of insights, and a second driven by inspiration, this third CASA event is all about impact. The energy is real, the momentum is building, and the industry is ready.

Chapter One: Insights

CASA23 laid the groundwork. We launched the State of CPaaS report, invited leading analysts, and helped the industry define what CPaaS could become. It was about listening, learning, and gathering insights.

Chapter Two: Inspiration

At CASA24, we saw those insights turn into action. From the Service Provider Playbook to real-world go-to-market strategies, members showed what’s possible when great ideas meet smart execution. Inspiration flowed from the stage, but also from hallway conversations and working group debates.

Chapter Three: Impact

Now, at CASA25, we’re entering the chapter of impact. In today’s dynamic and fast-moving world, we’re witnessing a broader shift toward more intelligent engagement—driven by AI, changing customer expectations, and the geopolitical realities reshaping how we communicate, connect, and build trust across digital channels.

This year, we’re focusing on four key themes:

— Network APIs: moving from promise to deployment, enabling new services and monetization models.

— AI: shifting from buzz to business impact, especially through agentic workflows and orchestration.

— Go-to-market: evolving strategies with channels, marketplaces, and co-selling becoming essential.

— Trust: tackling identity, compliance, security, and sovereignty in a world where geopolitical tensions and digital threats are reshaping what ‘trust’ really means.

And unlike past editions with two or three parallel tracks, this year we’re simplifying the program to focus on impact. One main stage for inspiration and insights. One workshop track for hands-on sessions in smaller groups. Less talk, more doing.

The Journey Continues

We’ve come a long way from a handful of passionate founders. CASA25 will bring together nearly two hundred industry leaders to do the work—build, share, test ideas, and leave with momentum. The journey continues, but the impact is already real.

If you’ve been part of this journey since CASA23 or CASA24, you know what to expect—candor, connection, and real collaboration. Make sure CASA25 is on your calendar. If this will be your first, don’t miss what many are calling the most impactful CPaaS event in the world. The trilogy might be wrapping up—but what comes next is even bigger.
