Integration mastery — making cross-domain autonomy work
Sessions in rooms
When teams are siloed, it is much more difficult to solve cross-domain faults effectively, and it could be said that autonomous networks will only ever deliver real value when the different network domains - transport, edge and core - operate together seamlessly. In this session, discover real-world fault management scenarios, learn how to integrate across domains, and gain hands-on experience with validator pipelines, leaderboards, and assurance mechanisms. Through this hour-long learning session, you'll gain a clear insight into the skills, processes, and collaboration styles which are all key to achieving truly autonomous operations.
Chair: Ruth Brown, Senior Principal Analyst, Omdia

Lunch briefing: DT4DI White paper 4.0: AI-native framework powers trustworthy decision intelligence
This DTW Ignite Lunch Briefing marks the launch of the DT4DI White Paper 4.0: Leveraging AI-Native Architectures to Empower Trustworthy AI. Designed for a select group of senior CSP executives and industry analysts, the session will explore how to move from experimentation to scalable, trustworthy AI deployment.

Lunch briefing - green & resilience development forum
As the AI revolution accelerates, CSPs face a critical inflection point — balancing business and AI demands with global net-zero targets. Yet, building the infrastructure for tomorrow requires more than just scaling up power. Core networks must be transformed to be fundamentally green and resilient, shifting from reactive compliance to proactive, AI-driven sustainability. To find out, Green & Resilient Development Forum will unpack the architectural foundations and comprehensive frameworks needed for next-generation AI infrastructure.
