Autonomous Networks Summit 2024

Tuesday 27 February | 10:15 am – 12:15 pm

Registration opens at 9:30 am

Hotel Porta Fira
Location: Las Arenas 4
Barcelona, Spain

Autonomous Networks (AN) Level 4 is coming

As the world becomes more interconnected, the need for Autonomous Networks (AN) that can manage and optimize connectivity on their own only intensifies. With the era of intelligent, Autonomous Networks approaching, it will enable Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to achieve significant advancements. As a key enabler of digital transformation, Autonomous Networks will empower CSPs with heightened network reliability and quality, the ability to streamline their operations and facilitate scalability.

What steps should the industry prioritize to enhance collaboration to advance towards achieving AN level 4 together? To address these crucial next steps, TM Forum is hosting the Autonomous Networks Summit during MWC on 27 February at Hotel Porta Fira in Barcelona and will bring together leading representatives from CSPs for meaningful collaboration.

Join forces at this industry summit to actively shape the trajectory of Autonomous Networks, fostering a collective commitment to move toward AN level 4 to deliver industry prosperity and business success. Hear best practices from visionary leaders who are spearheading the integration of these network strategies and help solidify the industry’s pivotal role in accelerating the future of intelligent digital infrastructure.
