The network is no longer just the "plumbing" of the enterprise; it is the central nervous system of the AI revolution. As we chart a course for Destination AI, the traditional boundaries of connectivity are dissolving. From the complexities of multi-cloud architectures to edge computing, the evolving network demands a shift from reactive management to proactive, intelligent observability. In this opening keynote, Mike Melillo explores the reality of AI in networking today. We’ll dive into how AI is fundamentally rewriting the rules of network connectivity and why observability is the mandatory foundation for any successful AI strategy. Read more

Enterprise AI is forcing a fundamental shift in networking—driven by data gravity, east-west traffic, and new security and control demands. As organizations move to production, NetOps teams must rethink how networks are built and operated. The ONUG community is leading this evolution, advancing projects in AI-assisted operations, agentic systems, and modern network design. At the same time, traditional observability is falling behind. This session explores the new requirements for AI-ready networks and the intelligent, real-time observability needed to operate them at scale—before complexity becomes the bottleneck. Read more

In this session, learn how Ameriprise used Broadcom’s NetOps maturity framework to hold ISP’s accountable for their network performance when they did their data centers migrations. Ameriprise has built their network observability foundation on collecting intelligent, quality data from any network, anywhere. This way they can not only hold public networks accountable but immediately find their own team’s innocence while having data-backed evidence to pinpoint the root cause in public networks.Hear the story behind why Patrick Heniz, Network Design Engineer at Ameriprise says, “We changed the way we monitor our network because the realities of networks have changed; most importantly - we’ve gone from weeks of triage time down to minutes.” Read more
