TM Forum Stand

Spend a focused morning on 25 June seeing AI‑native operations made real—from dynamic 5G slice lifecycle management to cross‑domain, self‑healing fault resolution and next‑gen architectures from Huawei and partners. You’ll see how leading operators and vendors are collapsing MTTR, automating complexity across power, RAN and transport, and turning TM Forum blueprints into live, production‑grade network automation patterns you can take home and reuse.

09:00 - 09:05 - TM Forum Blueprints for brilliance: Unleashing industry transformation

Ready to see what’s next for telecom and connectivity? Join us on stage as TM Forum reveals how our Industry Missions and Open Digital Architecture (ODA) are rewriting the rules for agility, innovation, and growth for the AI‑era. Discover how global leaders are collaborating to build AI‑ready, cloud‑native solutions that simplify operations and unlock new value; hear real‑world stories of transformation from concept to cash; and learn how you can be part of the movement that’s shaping the future. These sessions throughout the day are your gateway to the industry’s most exciting breakthroughs.

09:05 - 09:25 - End-to-end 5G dynamic slice management

The 5G Dynamic Slicing Project brings industry stakeholders together to demonstrate how 5G network slices can be dynamically created, adapted, and assured to meet diverse enterprise and industry service needs. The project validates TM Forum–aligned architectures and Open APIs through real‑world slicing use cases, showcasing closed‑loop operations and cross‑domain coordination to support interoperable, standards‑based adoption and accelerate dynamic network slicing from concept to commercial deployment.

Wei He, Director of ZTE Core Network Intelligent Product Planning, ZTE
 

09:25 - 09:45 - End-to-End Autonomous Fault Management across multiple domains

This use case presents a comprehensive fault‑management solution piloted at China Mobile that identifies and resolves base‑station outages caused by failures across power/environment, wireless, and transmission domains. The solution integrates agentic single‑domain autonomy and cross‑domain orchestration to unify multiple domains, significantly reducing MTTR, minimizing field site visits, and improving customer experience (QoE).

Yuan Shen, RAN Marketing Solution Director, ZTE Corporation 


09:45 - 10:05 - Intent based video experience operations

How Agentic AI is put into action to improve Video Experience MOS. User sets a target experience level, e.g., a desired MOS score (a numerical measure of the human-judged overall quality of an event or experience, e.g. video calls) and the system automatically determines what needs to change across radio, transport, and content-provider domains. It evaluates options, recommends the best actions, and either executes them automatically or assigns tasks to the appropriate teams. With results showing that targeted MOS scores increased by 5% in cases where close loop automation took control. 

Erol Goctu, Head of Business Development/Ericsson Managed Services, Ericsson 

 

10:05 – 10:25 - Standardizing cloud-native integration for telecom transformation 

IBM Telco Industry SLM turns ODA from static documentation into an intelligent, model-driven delivery capability, combining IBM telco expertise with client data to accelerate innovation, automate standards compliance, improve productivity, and create a continuously learning telco transformation asset. 

Rory Meffen, Industry leader, IBM-MEA 

 

10:25 - 10:45 - Transforming digital: AI-native techco assessment blueprint 

Discover how to use the new TM Forum’s Digital Maturity Model (DMM v5) - an umbrella model for the industry providing a standard framework design to help communication service providers assess and accelerate their digital transformations. It evaluates organizational readiness across six core enterprise pillars, mapping out actionable, step-by-step roadmaps from legacy architectures to fully digital operations.

Masterclass: Tackling the toughest change challenge: People

Everyone talks about becoming a TechCo, but few can truly measure what’s changing. Transformation isn’t just about technology; it’s about people, culture, and how organizations operate differently. This interactive masterclass explores the critical levers behind that shift and, more importantly, how to track progress with metrics that link directly to real business outcomes like growth and profitability. Come ready to challenge assumptions, benchmark your progress, and define what success actually looks like.
