Cambium & Friends Valencia: Networking Day

Enterprise networking events can sound interchangeable. This one isn’t, or at least not entirely. Cambium Networks is using a half-day gathering in Valencia on Wednesday, May 14, 2026, to do something pretty specific — pull together resellers, integrators, and operators around the hospitality connectivity stack, not just around Cambium gear itself. The shape of the day makes that clear. It is partner-heavy, use-case-heavy, and aimed at people who actually design, sell, or run networks, not casual attendees. ### What is this event, exactly? “Cambium and Friends 2026 Valencia” is an in-person morning event in Valencia, Spain. The registration page lists Wayco Cabanyal as the venue and gives the working window as roughly 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with welcome coffee, talks, networking time, and a cocktail-style lunch at the end. That framing matters — this is not a giant trade show floor. It is a compact roadshow-style session built for conversation and partner selling. (web.cvent.com) ### Who is actually involved? Cambium is the anchor, but the “friends” part is real. The agenda names Cambium Networks, SNOM, Alhambra IT, and Wifidom. That lineup tells you the event is crossing categories — wireless infrastructure, voice, distribution, and service-provider or integrator expertise — instead of staying inside one vendor’s product pitch. ### Why is hospitality all over the agenda? (web.cvent.com) Because the day is built around hotel and guest-experience networking problems. The registration copy highlights “casos reales” in hospitality and connectivity, and the session list leans hard into hotel voice quality, Wi‑Fi performance, and the customer experience. Basically, Cambium is not just saying “buy better access points.” It is saying the network is part of the guest product now. If Wi‑Fi fails, the hotel experience fails with it. ### What will people hear about? The posted agenda is pretty concrete. David Tajuelo from Cambium opens and appears multiple times. Flavio Calzaretta from SNOM is slated to speak on voice solutions for hotels. Juan Bautista Rodríguez from Alhambra IT covers hospitality VoIP services and solutions. Juan Manuel Blanco from Wifidom is attached to a session on the wholesaler’s value. Oscar Ramia from Cambium closes with network visibility tied to Starlink and NSE. That mix says the day is about operations and architecture as much as hardware. (web.cvent.com) ### Why mention Starlink and NSE? Because that is the most forward-looking clue in the program. Starlink points to hybrid or backup connectivity and to sites where terrestrial links are awkward. NSE — Cambium’s Network Service Edge line — points to security and visibility at the network edge. Put together, the message is that modern deployments need more than coverage. They need resilience, observability, and policy control. (web.cvent.com) ### Who is this really for? The April promotion around the Barcelona and Valencia meetings says the target is integrators and operators. The tone of the agenda backs that up. This is channel-facing. It is for people who specify systems, bundle services, and turn vendor products into a working offer for hotels or managed customers. (web.cvent.com) ### So is this a big industry moment? Not in the headline-news sense. It is a regional partner event. But these smaller roadshows are where vendors test the real commercial pitch — what problems they think buyers will actually pay to solve this year. In Valencia, that pitch is clear: hospitality networks now sit at the intersection of Wi‑Fi quality, voice, edge security, and backup connectivity. (blog.wifidom.com) ### Bottom line? This is less a generic networking day than a focused channel play. Cambium is using a short, local event to bundle partners and tell a practical story about hotel connectivity — better guest Wi‑Fi, better voice, more visibility, and fewer blind spots in the network.
