Digital Leadership Summit: Realizing the power of autonomous networks in digital transformation

Tuesday, June 28, 2022 2:00pm to 3:30pm

Virtual

There is no doubt over the significance that autonomous networks will have in digital transformation. For communication service providers (CSPs) the question is not if, but when they will be able to create fully autonomous networks, what opportunities will be available once these have been created, and which tools should be utilized to achieve this goal. 

In this summit, senior representatives from CSPs and TM Forum will outline the concept, benefits and architecture of autonomous networks, before diving into what autonomous networks currently look like within the industry, the successes we’ve already seen and what more needs to be done. 

This is an invite-only session. If you are interested in attending, please submit your interest here and we will be in touch.
