The Big 5G Event wrapped up last week and today we're sharing some scenes from the show as we continue to go through our piles of notes and recordings, digesting that veritable feast of information and networking. Denver photographer Andrew Kowalyshyn took these photos for Light Reading. The captions are not his fault. Click on the image below to launch the "slideshow":

Figure 1: 5G Is Big The first-ever Big 5G event opened on May 6 in Denver, Colo. Next year's event will be in Irving, Texas, on May 18. It's a fitting transition from the hype and fun of 5G's early days to the boring, hard work that no one really wants to do. The first-ever Big 5G event opened on May 6 in Denver, Colo.

About the Author

Phil Harvey

Editor-in-Chief, Light Reading

Phil Harvey has been a Light Reading writer and editor for more than 18 years combined. He began his second tour as the site's chief editor in April 2020.

His interest in speed and scale means he often covers optical networking and the foundational technologies powering the modern Internet.

Harvey covered networking, Internet infrastructure and dot-com mania in the late 90s for Silicon Valley magazines like UPSIDE and Red Herring before joining Light Reading (for the first time) in late 2000.

After moving to the Republic of Texas, Harvey spent eight years as a contributing tech writer for D CEO magazine, producing columns about tech advances in everything from supercomputing to cellphone recycling.

Harvey is an avid photographer and camera collector – if you accept that compulsive shopping and "collecting" are the same.
