For enterprise IT leaders, the digital transformation agenda has never been more urgent or more complex. Scaling applications across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, integrating AI into workflows, and ensuring robust security measures are essential for business agility. However, managing these at an enterprise scale continues to be a challenge.
Mplify’s standardized frameworks and certifications are helping enterprises bring structure and consistency to that complexity. It’s imperative to understand how to navigate these critical components of AI, automation, cybersecurity, and interoperability while deploying Network-as-a-Service (NaaS). That’s why this year’s Global NaaS Event (GNE) 2025, taking place 10-14 November in Dallas, is a must-attend for enterprise leaders seeking clarity, connection, and confidence in the AI era.
Beyond the Hype: AI as a Driver of Enterprise-Ready NaaS
AI is dominating executive conversations. At GNE, enterprises will see how NaaS, automation frameworks, and standardized APIs are powering real-world AI use cases.
For enterprises, this means:
- Networks that dynamically scale to meet AI workload demands
- Real-time provisioning and orchestration across multi-cloud environments
- Standardized approaches that ensure AI deployments don’t outpace governance
GNE will showcase production-ready solutions that demonstrate how enterprises can deploy AI responsibly and at scale, turning innovation into measurable outcomes.
Enterprise Spotlight: Real-World Innovation at GNE
GNE is built around use cases that show how automation, standardization, and certification translate into enterprise-scale results.
- Lumen’s Rob Ward will discuss how infrastructure transformation, cloud 2.0 capabilities, and ecosystem partnerships are enabling the AI-powered enterprise.
- Bloomberg and UPMC will explore how real-time data delivery and intelligent edge connectivity are redefining enterprise service agility.
- Arista Networks and Nile will share how new network models are simplifying operations and empowering organizations to scale innovation securely.
These sessions demonstrate that the path to AI and NaaS success is real and happening now, led by organizations realizing measurable gains in performance, security, and speed.
Certification: Building Trust into the Ecosystem
Trust and interoperability remain top challenges for enterprise transformation. At GNE, certification takes center stage as the solution to both.
Mplify’s SASE and LSO API certifications create verifiable benchmarks for interoperability, performance, and security, giving enterprises confidence that vendor solutions will work together seamlessly. Certification is not just technical validation; it’s a way to ensure predictable outcomes and accelerate integration.
In one session, companies such as Console Connect, Vodafone Business, Palo Alto Networks, Amartus, and Iometrix will explore how certification simplifies procurement, strengthens assurance, and establishes trust across partners. Enterprises will see how certification translates directly into faster onboarding, fewer integration barriers, and stronger operational resilience.
The Quantum-Safe Imperative
Forward-looking enterprises are also preparing for what’s next. GNE features sessions dedicated to quantum-safe networking, uniting experts from TeleGeography, Sparkle, Arqit, and Palo Alto Networks to discuss how emerging technologies can protect data in an era of quantum computing.
The conversation will connect Zero Trust, SASE, and quantum-safe encryption to help organizations future-proof their architectures. Enterprises will gain practical insights into how to begin building resilience against tomorrow’s cybersecurity challenges today.
A Convergence of the Entire Ecosystem
GNE is the premier gathering of the NaaS ecosystem, uniting enterprises, service providers, cloud and data center leaders, cybersecurity experts, and systems integrators. For enterprise executives, this means direct access to the ecosystem partners needed to turn NaaS and AI strategies into action.
Attendees will also benefit from the perspectives of analysts and industry media, helping them benchmark their strategies against real-world progress. With insights from Mplify CTO Pascal Menezes and principal analyst Stan Hubbard, GNE delivers a holistic view of where NaaS and AI are converging and how enterprises can capitalize on it.
Why Enterprises Should Attend
Enterprises exploring or expanding their NaaS strategies will find this conference invaluable for:
- Strategic clarity: Understand how NaaS and AI converge to deliver measurable business outcomes
- Practical playbooks: Learn from certified deployments and production-ready use cases
- Trusted connections: Meet the innovators shaping the global NaaS ecosystem
- Future resilience: Gain insights into quantum-safe and AI-integrated security frameworks
As Mplify COO Kevin Vachon states, “Standardizing APIs isn’t the flashiest topic, but it’s how we glue this ecosystem together.” For enterprises, that glue is what makes AI-powered services scalable, secure, and sustainable.
GNE is where enterprises gain the tools, partnerships, and frameworks to accelerate their digital transformation with confidence. For leaders navigating AI adoption, cybersecurity, and multi-cloud complexity, this is the event where vision meets execution and where the next era of enterprise networking begins.
