We connect research and decision-making to advance smarter communications policy.

When scholarship and policymaking operate in isolation, ideas lose impact. That’s why TPRC convenes scholars, regulators, industry leaders, and advocates in Washington, D.C. for rigorous paper sessions, cross-sector panels, expert tutorials, and keynote dialogue — so research informs real-world decisions and policy is grounded in evidence.

  • "TPRC is the world’s foremost conference in its field: where policy begins, orthodoxy ends, facts matter and partisanship has no place."

    —Eli Noam, Director, Columbia Institute for Tele-Information

  • “TPRC has been fundamental in my growth as a researcher. I started going as a first-year PhD student and not only did it fuel my interest in multidisciplinary research, but it also helped me incorporate economics and policy perspectives to my technical research. Our goal as researchers is to “move the needle” in our areas of expertise. The TPRC community helps us achieve this goal by enabling cross-disciplinary conversations that place our research within a broader and richer context. Coming back from TPRC with innovative ideas and energy to keep pushing our research boundaries is a common “side-effect”.

    —Marcela Gomez, University of Pittsburgh

  • “TPRC is a wonderful venue for anyone who is serious about undertaking multi-disciplinary research in telecommunications. The range of people who [attend] will broaden your thinking and give you fresh perspectives.”

    —David Clark, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab
