2025 Member Workdays

Mplify members, join us for two full days of deep-dive sessions to advance strategic programs across automation, cybersecurity, AI, Carrier Ethernet, and more.

Following the conference days, the Mplify membership is invited to engage directly with project leads, technical experts, and business champions to help define requirements, validate use cases, and accelerate adoption.

Key focus areas include:

  • NaaS: advancing Mplify’s federated NaaS approach.
  • LSO Automation: streamlining delivery of carrier ethernet, internet access, cross-connects, wavelength services & more.
  • AI: enabling new telco AI service offerings leveraging LSO automation.
  • Cybersecurity: evolving standards and certifications for SD-WAN, SSE, and Zero Trust.

These are more than just working sessions—they offer a collaborative forum where industry leaders shape the future of network transformation. Don’t miss the opportunity to contribute, connect, and influence the next phase of the industry’s evolution!

Mplify member workdays are included in the member conference pass, or register for workdays only.
