THE ESIM Marathon 2026

What’s Inside?

Last year the question was whether eSIM would reshape roaming. This year nobody asked it. Across seven sessions, the industry moved to a harder ground: what eSIM becomes once the technology itself is settled.

In our new Whitepaper, “eSIM 2026: From Travel Product to Connectivity Infrastructure,” seven operators, vendors and platforms set out where roaming revenue is moving, what the new IoT standard actually changes, and why the hardest problems in eSIM are no longer technical ones.

  • Why OTA still matters after installation, and the six use cases driving deployment

Valid — “Orchestrating the eSIM Ecosystem”

  • How roaming revenue leaks to global eSIM apps, and the silent roamer problem operators cannot see

  • Launching travel eSIM without touching the core network, and the AI Roaming Optimizer behind it

Xylen Management — “How eSIM is Powering the Future of Travel Tech”

  • Why travel eSIM is a distribution problem rather than a technology one

  • Three ways to deploy, and the free-eSIM-with-every-booking model built to remove the first step
