The multi-day event will attract business leaders driving the global ecosystem delivering the next generation of value-added secure NaaS offerings for enterprises and businesses. GNE and the LSO Global Summit take place October 2-4, 2023, in Dallas, Texas.
The innovation-focused GNE conference program will focus on three key areas - the new NaaS delivery ecosystem, communications service provider (CSP) NaaS automation platforms, and secure NaaS services – and will feature executive keynotes and panels led by senior-level speakers from across the NaaS ecosystem. Attendees will have an opportunity to network with other professionals and learn about the latest trends and technologies impacting secure NaaS.
The LSO Global Summit will bring together the LSO community and provide updates on MEF's LSO API automation vision and roadmaps, see new industry solutions, and hear implementation success stories.

The NaaS ecosystem includes retail CSPs, wholesale operators, technology providers, NaaS automation platform providers, datacenters, technology providers, hyperscalers, and specialized aggregators.
