Lunch briefing

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.

Together, we will discuss:

  • How to evolve from connectivity to platform and marketplace-driven growth
  • How to turn network assets into recurring, AI-driven revenue streams through curated ecosystem
  • How AI and edge infrastructure (enabled by partners like NVIDIA) unlock enterprise and vertical opportunities
  • Where CSPs can capture value in B2B and B2B2X models
  • How AI factories and usage-based models translate into scalable revenue
