Welcome & Introduction
1:00 PM
Always on Networking - Architecting the Self-Healing Network

Examine the shift from traditional, reactive monitoring to a proactive, data-centric approach for managing high-performance networks. This session explores how a unified data lake architecture enables deep observability and automated troubleshooting by correlating state changes across all network domains in real time. Attendees will discover how to leverage these insights to improve operational efficiency, accelerate root-cause analysis, and ensure consistent application delivery.

1:30 PM
AVA Intelligent Operations - Empowering NetOps with Proactive, Conversational AI
Explore the transformation of network management through an intelligent, virtual assistant designed to simplify complex operations. Attendees will learn how a unified data lake combined with natural language processing enables proactive troubleshooting, automated root cause analysis, and faster time-to-resolution across multi-domain environments. We’ll highlight a "trust nothing" approach to identity and access management, showcasing how AI-driven insights can enhance security, compliance, and overall network performance.
