Mission garages

Mission garages are the beating heart of each Mission summit experience. Embedded inside the Mission innovation zones, each garage is a hands-on hub built around our three Missions: Composable IT and Ecosystems, Autonomous Networks, and AI and Data.

The garages are where real breakthroughs happen. Catalysts, demos, labs and more unite in a hands-on collaboration space where you'll co-create the AI-enabled future Telecom operating system together. Explore what powers the Mission garages:

Mission overviews and deep dives

Fast, focused briefings that explain what each Mission is solving, why it matters now, and what to do next.

High‑value scenarios

Short sessions that show the real business problems, approach, and impact. Explore what works and why it scales.

Innovation Hub demos

Live demos showing AI-enabled ODA in action. Discover practical patterns you can take home and use.

Techlab immersive networking

Hands-on problem solving with peers and experts. Quick connection, shared challenges, real collaboration.

Catalyst tours

Curated walk-throughs of the most relevant Catalysts, giving you exposure to real solutions and direct insights from the teams delivering them.

ODA exploration and more

Guided touchpoints that reveal ODA in action and show how AI-native foundations connect in the real world.

Future skills arena

AI native success depends on skills. We’ve built a future skills arena for the people who will power the new AI native telecom operating system. Explore:

Masterclasses and blueprint clinics: Hands-on sessions that turn AI, ODA, autonomy and composable IT into day-to-day execution.
Talent tracks and learning deep dives: Curated pathways for developers, architects, product leaders, and executives, aligned to key Missions.
Certification briefings: Guidance on which accreditations you need, and how to prove capability fast.

This game-changing arena facilitates active learning. Leave with practical skills, defined next steps, and the confidence to lead an AI native future.

Wildcard themes

Wildcard themes introduce a different kind of session at DTW Ignite: fast, provocative, future‑facing conversations that sit outside the core Missions but directly shape AI‑native operating systems.

These sessions challenge assumptions, push into emerging frontiers and give leaders perspective. They are designed for people who want to stress‑test their strategy against what is coming next. Explore wildcard themes such as:
