In a fast-moving infrastructure landscape, IT and network leaders must stay ahead to stay competitive. Converge Digest and AvidThink partnered to build NextGenInfra — a combined research and video package that spotlights the technologies powering the AI era, and puts your experts in front of the people making buying decisions.
Sponsorship positions you as an innovator and a credible vendor. Each report pairs a succinct, analyst-authored research brief with a set of executive video interviews — yours among them.
Go on the record with a professionally produced interview that shows the market you understand where the technology is heading — not just what you sell.
Explain how your solution addresses real customer needs in a format executives and architects actually watch and share.
Appear alongside other recognized thought leaders — carriers, enterprises, and vendors — inside independent, analyst-authored research.
Align your brand with cutting-edge topics before they hit the mainstream, and stay in front of buyers for 6–12 months per report cycle.
We work with you to produce the video — remotely or on-site in the SF Bay Area — with editing and assistance provided. Every participant and sponsor reviews and approves before anything is published on nextgeninfra.io and our YouTube channel.

Our multi-vendor research reports are independent research — not designed to favor any specific vendor or provider. Filming at a conference instead? See the Fall 2026 event packages.
Your executive, featured in the report — alongside leaders like NVIDIA, Nokia, DriveNets, Aryaka, and Nile.
Our content rotates throughout the year to keep engagement high, and reaches executives and technologists at enterprises, cloud providers, and network operators.
Readers and viewers include Fortune 500 enterprises (Boeing, Chevron, GM, Salesforce, Visa), leading service providers (AT&T, BT, Comcast, Deutsche Telekom, Google, Microsoft, NTT, Verizon), and top financial and venture firms — in roles from Network Engineer and Infrastructure Architect to CIO, the office of the CTO, and Cyber Security Lead.
