When DTW Ignite 2026 opens its doors in Copenhagen from June 23 to 25, it won't just be telecom industry leaders taking the stage. For the first time, AI agents will also participate as co-hosts, analysts and digital assistants throughout the conference.
The event will be the first major telecom event to integrate agent-based AI throughout the conference experience. AI will be used to support real-time analytics, navigation and interaction throughout the three-day agenda.
AI as co-host on stage
AI agents will participate in presentations and panel discussions as co-hosts, analysts and digital experts alongside human moderators. The aim is to give participants a concrete picture of how agent-based AI can contribute to faster analysis, improved operational insight and better decision-making.
By combining human expertise with AI-based analysis, the organizers want to show what future workflows could look like in the telecom and technology industry.
AI creates an intelligence layer for the entire conference
All keynote presentations, panel discussions and breakout sessions will be recorded and analyzed by AI, creating a layer of intelligence that makes conference content more accessible and helps attendees identify the most important insights.
The AI systems will summarize content, identify trends and highlight the most relevant discussions throughout the event.
Daily AI-generated briefings
Each day, attendees will receive AI-generated summaries with the most important news, announcements, and discussion topics from the conference.
The briefings will help participants stay up to date at a fast pace and provide an editorial overview of the most important events and upcoming sessions.
– DTW Ignite has always been the place where the telecom industry comes to experience innovation in action. Now we are turning the event itself into a live demonstration of AI-powered operations, says Aaron Boasman-Patel, Vice President of Innovation at TM Forum.
Focus on practical AI results
The AI elements complement the conference's three main tracks:
- Composable IT and ecosystem
- Autonomous networks
- Reliable AI and data
The program also includes Mission Garages, live demonstrations, Catalyst projects and specially designed field trips focused on concrete business results and practical innovation.
