Expo Theater I
This year, we ask a different question. Beyond supplying optical interconnects for AI infrastructure, how is AI transforming the optical networking industry itself? A panel of experts will examine how a quiet but consequential shift is underway across the industry, from component design and network optimization to manufacturing intelligence, automation, and information management. Through case studies and discussion, the panel will show how AI is improving product development, operational productivity, and decision-making across the optical networking value chain. With a preference for discussion over presentations, this session will give you an informative new perspective on how the optical networking ecosystem is using AI to become faster, smarter, and more competitive.
