Power up at TM Forum’s electrifying AN sessions: Orange Romania’s Level 4 AI slashing MTTR 80%, DT Technik’s intent-based “One Net to Bind Them All” orchestration, plus explosive ODA demos for self-remediating magic. Rub shoulders with industry trailblazers, and seize the keys to an AI-native autonomous network today.

AN Impact benchmark: Where business meets technology 

Discover whether you are ahead or behind your peers? 
How can we measure if Autonomous Network investments are paying off? How are you getting on against your peers. What are others finding as their most lucrative use cases?  
Hear about the headlines of our new industry initiative that explores and discovers how the rest of the CSPs is tackling these critical questions. (Note: For a deeper dive we are also on the Future skills stage at 15:45)

AI-driven Root Cause Analysis and predictive assurance platform operating at TMF Autonomous Networks Level 4 

Orange Romania: AI-driven assurance at TMF Autonomous Networks Level 4, built on the live, unified inventory that maps services and resources across domains into a single connected graph. This enables detection of drift before thresholds are breached, isolation of the single root cause, and instant mapping of blast radius across the full service topology, with closed-loop remediation piloted toward self-healing autonomy and up to 80% MTTR reduction. 

Ioana Dragus, Enterprise Architect, RealWorld Systems 
Dr. Marius Iordache, Telco Cloud and Service Platforms Manager, Orange Romania  


14:50 -15:15
One net to bind them all: Intent-based service activation 

DT Technik is driving the transformation of its core network towards higher levels of autonomy through a modular connectivity approach (One IP Core). OS&R and service setup for high-quality B2B and carrier services, configured directly on backbone network elements, play an important role. The goal is one lean, fully orchestrated production line, based on modularized service composition (One Production Line). 

Dr. Kai Schorstein, Senior Consultant, GIP Exyr 
Eric Dorr, Head of SuperSquad IP Connectivity Services, IP Core (T‑IPC), Deutsche Telekom Technik 


15:15 -15:40
Agentic Autonomics: Towards Self-Remediating Networks 

Multi-agentic platform integrated with the TM Forum ODA AI Canvas, designed for carrier-grade IP and 5G networks. The solution delivers real-time observability, predictive assurance, root cause analysis, and drives closed-loop automation and self-remediation, advancing toward fully autonomous networks.

Lunch briefing: Navigating the AI hype maze: Monetizing autonomous networks, edge, 6G & AI Factories - Where will growth come from?

AI is everywhere but turning it into real revenue remains the challenge. As telcos move beyond experimentation, the focus is shifting from deploying AI to monetizing it across platforms, marketplaces, and ecosystems. Unlock new growth vectors. From AI-enabled operations and autonomous networks to edge-powered services and emerging AI factory models, the opportunity is clear, but so is the complexity. In this exclusive VIP session, leaders from AT&T, HCLTech, NVIDIA, and Beyond Now come together to share and discuss how CSPs can move from AI promise to measurable business impact.
