DESCRIPTION:15:45 - 16:00Cracking the code: Achieving Level 4 autonomy in m
 assive wireless networks How Verizon has built the world’s largest telco
  digital twin to achieve Level 4 autonomy across its complex wireless netw
 ork How migrating massive data estates unlocked the ability to use cutting
 -edge Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for precise origin analysis Moving beyo
 nd simple anomaly detection to a self-healing\, predictive operation that 
 redefines network resilience and customer experience Matt Anderson\, Telec
 om Industry Market Lead\, Google Senior Representative\, Verizon 16:00 - 1
 6:15Case Study: Advancing network operations through automation and intell
 igence Applying automation and data-driven intelligence to optimise networ
 k operations Reducing operational complexity while improving service quali
 ty and resilience Taking a pragmatic approach to autonomous networks acros
 s OSS and operational domains Lessons learned from scaling automation init
 iatives and aligning them with business priorities including efficiency an
 d sustainability Keisuke Suzuki\, Director of OSS\, NTT DOCOMO16:15 - 16:3
 0How to move from NaaS to autonomous networks Why the building blocks of A
 N are NaaS (ODA) Building a solid knowledge base for effective implementat
 ion Moving from predictive automation to reasoned automation with Agentic 
 AI Case study of service closed loop for operations Shirish Basant Rai\, S
 enior Specialist Network Architect\, Colt 16:30 - 17:00 Panel: Designing t
 he autonomous operations center of the future Exploring the concept of the
  “Dark NOC”: network operations environments where AI and automation h
 andle the majority of operational tasks with minimal human intervention Ho
 w Level 4 autonomy is transforming traditional network operations centers 
 into intelligent\, self-managing environments The technologies enabling th
 is shift\, from AI-driven assurance and closed-loop automation to digital 
 twins and intent-based operations What organizational changes are required
  as operator teams transition from manual monitoring to AI supervision and
  strategic control How the “Dark NOC” vision underpins the transition 
 to 6G\, where AI-native\, fully autonomous operations are expected to be f
 oundational rather than optional Panelists: Shahryar Khan\, Sr. Director &
  Head of Mobile Packet Core\, Telia GroupDaniel Smith\, Group Technology -
  Operations Governance & Tools Specialist\, MTN Group Shirish Basant Rai\,
  Senior Specialist Network Architect\, Colt Jørgen Brecke\, Senior Vice P
 resident\, Technology Strategy and Partnership Ecosystem\, Telenor 17:00 -
  17:15AN Levels Certificate Ceremony: TM Forum accelerates momentum toward
 s autonomous networks Operators are saving time\, reducing costs\, and adv
 ancing AI-driven\, self-optimizing networksCertificates will be awarded to
  leading operators who have undertaken AN Level Assessment Validation (ANL
 AV)The awards will be presented by George Glass\, CTO\, TM Forum 17:30 Clo
