🕰️ NEW2AN History

Since the mid-1990s, a series of successful seminars sponsored by the International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) laid the foundation for what would become the NEW2AN Conference. Hosted in Saint Petersburg, a historical bridge between East and West, these events captured the collaborative spirit of the networking and telecommunications community.
