The Brooklyn 6G Summit (B6GS) is an academic conference sponsored by Nokia that is held every year at the New York University (NYU) Tandon School of Engineering in Downtown Brooklyn.

This live event first started in 2014, when it was called the Brooklyn 5G summit. The symposium skipped 2020 while the Covid pandemic was raging, going virtual in 2021 as the renamed B6GS event. 2022 was the first time in two years that the summit was held in person.

Executives from Nokia, Microsoft, and Qualcomm, among others, presented at the show.

"We're predicting the [initial] 6G work items will be in Release 21," said John Smee, senior vice president of engineering and head of wireless research at Qualcomm, during his presentation at the summit.

Release 21 is still a number of years away. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards body just completed Release 17 of the 5G standard in March 2022.

In fact, Smee and many others at the event don't expect to see any commercial 6G networks or devices until 2030. Despite this, quite a few vendors are already talking about extended reality (XR), the metaverse, and other amazing technologies that 6G will enable.
