NOMS 2026 - IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium

A flagship international symposium for network and service management, bringing together researchers and practitioners working on operational excellence, automation, and next-generation network management.

Date: 2026-05-18 to 2026-05-22 Location: Rome, Italy Format: Symposium / Conference Official link

GAINS presence

  • Attendee: Marco Paesani
  • Purpose: research networking, dissemination, and scouting for PoC alignment and early-adopter interest

NOMS 2026 is strategically relevant for GAINS because it is one of the most authoritative venues where the community discusses how to operationalize AI for network management and, increasingly, how to manage AI as a workload within reliable and sustainable infrastructures. The symposium provides the right technical audience to validate GAINS’ scientific narrative, collect feedback on use cases and evaluation criteria, and build collaborations that can accelerate PoC and demo readiness.

EnableX 2026

Industry event focused on innovation and ecosystem collaboration (date and details to be announced).

Date: TBA Location: TBA Format: Conference / ecosystem event Official link: TBA

GAINS presence

  • Contribution: use cases and project narrative (TBA)
  • Attendee: Full GAINS Team

EnableX provides an ecosystem-oriented environment to connect research outcomes with real operational challenges, identify early adopters, and frame GAINS within concrete telco/cloud modernization roadmaps.

Past events

Build your AI

A hands-on workshop focused on building practical AI applications with attention to security, compliance, and real-world impact.

Date: 2026-01-15 Location: Rome, Italy Format: Workshop Official link

GAINS presence

  • Contribution: GAINS Project Introduction
  • Attendee: Alfredo Giordano

Attending the “Build your AI” hands-on workshop in Rome provides GAINS with a high-signal venue to validate its dissemination message directly with developers and practitioners, in a context explicitly focused on turning AI ideas into concrete, secure, compliant applications. Because the event is positioned around Regolo.ai as a European, “green” AI platform and emphasizes practical tooling, governance and real-world use cases, it aligns well with GAINS’ mission to operationalize agentic AI under measurable sustainability constraints. The workshop format (including Q&A and networking) is ideal to (1) attract early adopters for PoC feedback, (2) source collaboration opportunities with AI infrastructure stakeholders, and (3) recruit technical contributors interested in sustainable AI operations.

RESTART Final Plenary Dissemination Event - “Shaping Horizons in Future Telecommunications”

The final RESTART plenary event, focused on presenting programme results and strengthening dialogue between research, institutions, and industry on the future of telecommunications.

Date: 2026-01-19 to 2026-01-21 Location: Rome, Italy Format: Dissemination event / Plenary Programme page

GAINS presence

  • Contribution: dissemination and stakeholder engagement
  • Attendee: GAINS team
  • Focus: positioning GAINS within RESTART outcomes, with emphasis on sustainability and operational AI

The RESTART Final Plenary is the natural stage to connect GAINS deliverables with the broader programme narrative: evidence-based research outcomes, industrial relevance, and measurable sustainability impact. Participation supports visibility toward institutional and industrial stakeholders, and creates a channel for early adopter conversations around PoCs and demos.

DIGITA Academy Partner Meeting

Partner alignment session within the University Federico II DIGITA Academy ecosystem (University + industry), focused on collaboration, project work opportunities, and strategic coordination across participating companies.

Date: Friday, 2026-01-23 Time: 15:00 Location: Naples, Italy (venue TBA) Format: Partner meeting DIGITA Academy Partners

GAINS presence

  • Contribution: ecosystem networking, collaboration scouting, and early adopter conversations for PoC validation
  • Attendee: Alfredo Giordano + GAINS team member as needed

DIGITA Academy is a high-value setting for GAINS because it sits at the intersection of applied training, industrial partnerships, and real-world project work. Participating in the Partner Meeting helps GAINS (1) connect with companies already committed to practical AI and digital transformation, (2) identify early adopters for PoC feedback and demo validation, and (3) engage potential technical contributors aligned with operational, measurable, and sustainability-aware AI adoption.
