TM Forum and Huawei Operations Transformation Forum combine forces for comprehensive telco industry gathering
Introducing a novel collaboration, DTW Ignite will integrate with Huawei's Operations Transformation Forum (OTF) on 16 June, preceding the main event. This 10th OTF instalment, themed “All Intelligent Operations Ignite New Growth,” concentrates on refining intelligent operational frameworks.
The OTF segment offers valuable exchanges of ideas, crafting solutions and defining global best practices aimed at optimizing customer experience, personalizing digital offerings, and advancing operational intelligence.
Complementing the formal agenda, DTW Ignite will present over 50 Catalyst projects in the Innovation Zone and Innovation Hub, fostering collective problem-solving amongst contributors from over 200 firms. Hackathons and solution sprints enrich this collaborative platform.
The innovative 2025 programme introduces the Solutions Room—fostering peer connections, addressing sector challenges, and forging actionable strategies. Meanwhile, the Executive Connect programme will bridge meetings between communications service providers and tech vendors, hosting more than 400 CSP pros.
Live technical demos will illuminate developments in Open Digital Architecture, encompassing Open APIs, ODA Components, and Canvas technologies. Individuals interested in network automation can dive deeper through the Autonomous Network Summit and join expert sessions.
Leveraging a community-driven approach, the summit app will allow attendees to propose and vote on project demonstrations, actively shaping the content showcased. Both formal and informal networking will punctuate the schedule, alongside the TM Forum Excellence Awards which honour technological achievements in the industry.
Backed by more than 35 industry-leading sponsors, including Amdocs, AWS, Ericsson, Huawei, Netcracker, Oracle, Tech Mahindra, and Tecnotree, the gathering underscores its significance in shaping the telecom narrative.
“This is our moment to be a part of the change, and we’re excited to bring the industry together in June,” concludes Nik.
