Autonomous Networks Leadership Forum: Part Two

November 19, 2026
12:00-13:00
Impact stage
Autonomous Networks
Autonomous operations
Session overview: As Level 4 autonomy becomes increasingly mainstream, the conversation is shifting from autonomous networks to autonomous enterprises. This session explores how AI-native operations, digital twins and collaborative intelligence are extending beyond network automation to transform service delivery, customer experience and business operations, while looking ahead to the technologies and leadership priorities that will shape telecoms through to 2030. 
 
From autonomous networks to autonomous enterprises 
  • Exploring how AI-native operational models are extending beyond network operations into service management, customer experience and enterprise decision-making 
  • Examining how shared operational intelligence enables collaboration across technical and business domains 
  • Demonstrating how digital twins and agent ecosystems are supporting increasingly intelligent operational workflows 
  • Looking ahead to the evolution of the autonomous telecom operator 
Case study: Building autonomy at national scale 
  • Sharing how autonomous networks have become embedded within day-to-day operations across one of the world's largest telecom networks.  
  • Demonstrating how common operational frameworks, AI-native architectures and digital twins are supporting consistent decision-making across multiple network domains.  
  • Examining how operational intelligence is improving customer experience, network resilience and commercial performance simultaneously 
  • Looking ahead to the next milestones as we continue evolving towards collaborative autonomy 
Leadership panel: Beyond Level 4: The next decade of autonomous telecoms 
  • As Level 4 becomes mainstream, what will define the next generation of telecom innovation?  
  • How will collaborative autonomy reshape networks, operations and customer experiences over the remainder of the decade?  
  • Which technologies are still missing before fully autonomous telecom operations become reality?  
  • What should the main priorities be as the industry begins looking beyond today's autonomous networks roadmap?
