Various parts of the world are working and racing towards the creation of 6G. The Workshop “6G: visions, use cases and technologies” as part of IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference held from 9-12 January 2022 in Las Vegas, USA aims at clarifying the views on 6G and to inform on what to expect. As central future communication technology and basis for an increasingly important part of the society, we expect 6G to lay the foundation for future consumer communications and networking. The Workshop is organized by the European 6G Flagship project Hexa-X in cooperation with the Next G Alliance.
