Masterclass: Designing the brain and nerve system of autonomous networks
Masterclass
Autonomous Networks require more than automation—they need an intelligent architecture that enables networks to sense, decide, and act with minimal human intervention. This masterclass explores the core building blocks of Level-4 Autonomous Networks, focusing on how AI-powered agents, intent-driven orchestration, and self-healing capabilities work together to create closed-loop automation across network domains.
Participants will learn how these capabilities interact across data, intelligence, and execution layers, and how operators and vendors can implement them using TM Forum frameworks, Open APIs, and modern AI architectures.
Key topics include:
- Intent-driven network operations and service outcomes
- AI and agent-based decision systems for network operations
- Self-healing domains and closed-loop automation
- The role of observability, digital twins, and knowledge graphs
- Architecture patterns enabling Level-4 autonomy
This session combines visionary architecture thinking with practical implementation patterns, helping participants understand how to design the intelligence layer of next-generation networks.

Masterclass: Making re-invent IT real
AI‑Native ops in action: from slices to self‑healing networks
Spend a focused morning on 25 June seeing AI‑native operations made real—from dynamic 5G slice lifecycle management to cross‑domain, self‑healing fault resolution and next‑gen architectures from Huawei and partners. You’ll see how leading operators and vendors are collapsing MTTR, automating complexity across power, RAN and transport, and turning TM Forum blueprints into live, production‑grade network automation patterns you can take home and reuse.
AI native blueprint masterclass: From blueprint to scale – building the reference architecture & pattern library for high-value scenarios
Masterclass: Tackling the toughest change challenge: People
Everyone talks about becoming a TechCo, but few can truly measure what’s changing. Transformation isn’t just about technology; it’s about people, culture, and how organizations operate differently. This interactive masterclass explores the critical levers behind that shift and, more importantly, how to track progress with metrics that link directly to real business outcomes like growth and profitability. Come ready to challenge assumptions, benchmark your progress, and define what success actually looks like.
