A few years can be a long time and the telecoms industry is now familiar with TM Forum’s annual DTW Ignite event and its surroundings in Copenhagen so this year will be more of the same as the event returns to the Bella Center for a third successive year. What’s different though will be the event’s attitude which has changed from supporting an industry struggling to right-size itself while looking for justifications for the money spent on 5G network infrastructure to one that’s embarking on a white-knuckle ride, struggling to keep up as AI adoption creates a raft of new opportunities for telcos.
As MATRIXX Software CEO Glo Gordon points out, the old rules are over in telecoms. We expect to see substantial enthusiasm for the next wave of telecoms in Copenhagen and hope you find this CEO Guide to the event a useful scene-setter.
