Open Gateway Round Table: Accelerating Advanced API Adoption

The Open Gateway Advanced API Round Table is heavily over-subscribed. Registration is now closed. Only those attendees who have their attendance approved will be admitted. Priority has been given to VIP pass holders. 

If you were unable to attend the round table, please register for the Open Gateway Summit on Wed 4 Mar 2026 at 09:00 - 13:00hrs. Thank you for your interest in Open Gateway.

Open Gateway is driving the standardized adoption of network APIs globally which is enabling new business models, new solutions to real-world business problems and creating new enterprise revenue streams even as the initiative gains global momentum and acceptance. 

Building on the momentum of the Doha Open Gateway Summit, this round table explores the next frontier in telecom innovation: advanced network APIs. 

With capabilities like Quality-on-Demand (QoD), Simple Edge Compute, Connectivity Insights, Home Device QoD and Network Slice Booking, operators can use APIs to dynamically programme networks to meet evolving industry needs and create new revenue sources.  

Presenters will share early-stage use cases that demonstrate the real-world impact of programmable networks. 

The session will also examine the role of the CAMARA project, TM Forum, Mplify and the GSMA in standardising and certifying APIs, ensuring global interoperability, and accelerating adoption. 

Join industry leaders as they discuss what’s needed to scale these innovations, which sectors will be first-movers, and how open, standardised APIs are unlocking new business models and revenue streams for operators and enterprises alike. 

Round Table: A difficult conversation: Whats hard about implementing advanced APIs? 

The aim of this GSMA round table is to focus on how to accelerate adoption of advanced network APIs and to have an open discussion about the real-world challenges and "difficult conversations" needed to move implementation forward. 

The round table will start with a series presentations from a global panel of companies with expertise in implementing advanced APIs and then a moderated workshop to discuss "Whats' hard about implementing advanced APIs: with the aim of identifying adoption blockers, regulatory friction and technical enablement issues that need to be resolved.
