12:00- 12:25 - AI-Powered, Zero-Touch, End-to-End 5G Slice Lifecycle Management

5G Dynamic Slice Management is a collaborative Innovation Hub project under TM Forum, demonstrating how network slicing can be delivered as a fully automated, intent‑driven digital service. Built on TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture and aligned with the AI & Automation Blueprint and Autonomous Networks framework, the solution enables end‑to‑end, closed‑loop lifecycle management of 5G slices—from product creation and zero‑touch activation to real‑time assurance and autonomous optimisation. It shows how CSPs can simplify operations, reduce costs, and deliver differentiated, SLA‑driven connectivity services at scale across multi‑vendor environments.

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.
