Lunch briefing: The post-pilot CSP: Who actually makes money from AI?
Lunch briefing
Please note that this session is open to Communication Service Providers (CSPs) only. Submit your interest in attending.Every CSP has an AI strategy, but very few can demonstrate an AI P&L. Hosted by Tecnotree, this invitation-only executive lunch brings together senior CSP leaders to examine what it takes to move AI beyond experimentation and into scaled production, with clear operational and commercial returns.
Through candid executive conversations and hosted table debates, attendees will explore the realities of autonomous operations, real-time monetisation, and AI-native transformation. With no slides or product demonstrations, the session is designed around honest peer exchange, practical experience and the decisions CSP leaders must make to turn AI ambition into measurable business value.
Key takeaways:
- Understand what separates CSPs scaling AI in production from those still caught in continuous pilots.
- Explore the operational realities of autonomy, including legacy technology, workforce transition and accountability for AI-led decisions.
- Hear where real-time intelligence is delivering commercial impact across ARPU, churn, time-to-offer and growth beyond connectivity.
- Benchmark your priorities with senior industry peers and leave with practical commitments for progressing AI from strategy to measurable value.
