For operators, vendors, and partners with live deployments, and the data to show what’s working.
 

You’ve built it, you’ve deployed it, and you have the numbers to prove it. This theme is for the talks that help the room skip a year of trial and error: commercial rollouts, production deployments, post-trial performance data, and the operational lessons that came with them. If your proof point is a signed deal, a live network, a measurable performance gain, or a deployment milestone, this is your lane.
 

We’re especially interested in work no single company could have done alone: multi-vendor and cross-community deployments where the partnership itself is part of the story. That includes shared infrastructure deployments for smart cities, venues, and data centers; Video and RTC Apps QoE; OpenLAN and Wi-Fi 7 collaboration across TIP and the WBA; Open RAN interoperability at scale; and ecosystem showcases involving groups like OIF, OpenROADM, and the IOWN Global Forum.

The strongest submissions bring operators and vendors to the stage together.

For teams putting AI to work inside the network, with deployment proof.
 

AI is changing how networks are operated, automated, and monetized. We’re interested in submissions and demonstrations across four areas:
 

1. Agentic platforms automating workflows and service orchestration across access, transport, and core networks

2. Open Network APIs enabling programmable AI interaction with network capabilities

3. AI inference orchestration across edge, cloud, and data center infrastructure

4. Monetizable AI-powered edge services and B2B2X offerings
    

Bring reference architectures, benchmark data, commercial models, and demos, all grounded in what you’ve built, run, or measured.

For startups, scale-ups, researchers, standards leads, and early-stage builders shaping the next generation of network innovation.
 

The horizon track.
 

This is where AI-native 6G architectures begin to take shape. Where industrial AI, integrated sensing, and multimodal agent systems start driving new demand on the network. Where terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks (NTN) converge to deliver connectivity in new environments. And where testing evolves to support AI verification and validation at scale.
 

Smaller slate, higher bar: submissions should go beyond vision-deck material. Bring research results, early prototypes and demos, or credible technical depth. If your work won’t be widely deployable in 2026, but will shape what 2027 and beyond look like, we want to hear it.
