About
ETSI is pleased to support the AI-Native Telco Forum, taking place in Hotel Kö59, Düsseldorf on 8–9 September 2026.
AI in telecom has moved beyond the proof-of-concept stage – but proving that it pays is another matter. Operators are delivering double-digit energy savings, autonomous fault remediation and measurable cost reductions, yet TelecomTV’s exclusive research reveals that most still cannot connect AI investment to financial outcomes.
The challenge has shifted from whether AI belongs in the network to whether organisations can scale it, govern it and build a credible business case at board level.
The AI-Native Telco Forum returns to Düsseldorf on 8–9 September 2026 for two days of evidence-based insight, drawn directly from the strengths, gaps and challenges identified across 50 of the world’s leading operators. Building on the momentum of last year’s inaugural event, the 2026 forum brings together 200 senior telecom professionals to examine what separates the operators turning AI into competitive advantage from those still calculating its potential.
