“A place where real decisions are made, real influencers are everywhere, and real answers can be found.”
MEF’s Global Network-as-a-Service(NaaS) Event – GNE to fans – brings together an exceptional community of practitioners and purchasers in pursuit of a well-defined set of commercially-focused goals. That focus makes for clear-sighted discussion of the opportunities and challenges, yes, but also the progress being made.

Principal Analyst Grant Lenahan provides context and insight into the topics discussed at the 2024 event, including NaaS, APIs, a $101B upside for telcos, intent, autonomous networks and more.
