OPENING PANEL: Transformation 2024 – Integrated telco versus the NetCo/ServCo model
A handful of telcos have gone down this route already and the trends looks set to grow. What’s driving it and what’s needed to make the separation of infrastructure and services a success? What can go wrong? How does this potentially affect telcos’ relationships with hyperscalers?
MORNING KEYNOTE: Telco to techco – plotting the return to growth
Telcos aren’t interested in technology for its own sake, but because it can create growth. How do telcos match technology to their desired business outcomes and monitor their success for the business?
Imagine if app innovation didn’t mean soaring cloud costs
Many companies have been caught out by higher than expected costs and rather less agility than they expected when they modernise their apps for cloud or develop cloud-native apps. Does it have to be this way? How can operators avoid falling into the trap themselves and ensure enterprise customers steer clear too?

IN CONVERSATION: To what extent are telcos data-driven organisations now?
How much progress have they made towards this goal and which major areas do they still need to tackle? How has better use of data boosted operational and business outcomes?
PANEL: Are telcos delivering services faster since they embarked on digitalisation?
If so, which ones and for whom? If not, why not? Is faster service delivery more important for to achieve a shorter time from orders to cash, or to provide excellent experience to customers? Or can the two go hand in hand?
Preparing macro infrastructure to deliver private networks
What steps do operators need to take to offer low latency and network slicing for private networks? Is cost the only advantage of enterprises choosing this option to deploy a private network versus more granular control and greater security by doing it themselves?
Break
AFTERNOON KEYNOTE: Automation is the only way to dynamically allocate transport resources
What are the benefits and what obstacles are in the way of achieving them? How fundamental is this to the adoption of 5G Standalone or is it equally important elsewhere in operators’ infrastructure for other services?
PANEL: The benefits of moving data ops and analytics to the cloud
What are the benefits and what obstacles are in the way of achieving them? How fundamental is this to the adoption of 5G Standalone or is it equally important elsewhere in operators’ infrastructure for other services?
Where did the edge go?
Operators have long been looking to the edge to boost their revenues, but don’t seem to have got progressed far with deployments. What are they waiting for and what steps can they take now? How can hyperscalers and operators work together better for the benefit of customers?
