Event Overview

TM Forum’s Innovate Americas summit is set to return to Gilley’s Dallas on September 10-11, 2025. This event brings together senior leaders from the telecom and technology sectors to focus on transforming AI ambitions into tangible outcomes. Following a successful inaugural session in 2024, this two-day gathering is organized to equip communications service providers (CSPs) and the broader telco ecosystem across North, Central, and Latin America with practical strategies that yield measurable impacts.

The summit’s agenda is firmly rooted in TM Forum’s three Industry Missions: Composable IT and Ecosystems, Autonomous Networks, and AI and Data Innovation. Participants can expect an enriching mix of visionary keynotes, actionable panel discussions, and interactive sessions. Innovate Americas will provide delegates with invaluable insights from pioneering CSPs and technology partners, facilitating discussions on cutting-edge architectures and innovations that are crucial for industry growth.

This event creates an unparalleled platform to move beyond theoretical discussions. Attendees will engage in roundtables, crowdsourced demonstrations, and in-depth project sessions aimed at addressing pressing challenges within the region.

Renowned CSPs and tech partners scheduled to participate include Verizon (the exclusive CSP host partner), AT&T, Dish Network, Liberty Latin America, Optimum, TELUS, Telecom Argentina, and T-Mobile USA. These collaborations are intended to promote knowledge-sharing and partnerships that could transform strategies and accelerate advancements throughout the Americas. Additionally, insights partner McKinsey will host a ‘Decode’ session that offers data-driven analyses and professional insights into the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the telecommunications landscape.

For the 2025 edition, Innovate Americas will introduce new, high-impact formats designed to spur action and deliver measurable results. Among these are the ‘AI in LATAM Roundtable’, which will unites regional leaders—including executives from iOPEX, Movistar Perú / Integratel Perú, and Orchest—to discuss how to effectively build and sustain scalable AI ecosystems across diverse markets. The event will also feature ‘Real Results Lightning Talks’ designed to showcase successful deployments and tangible business outcomes rather than just proofs of concept.

George Glass, the CTO of TM Forum, noted the rapid developments within the Americas telecom industry, emphasizing the transition from isolated systems and pilot projects to AI-native networks and scalable IT solutions. He stated, “Innovate Americas is the one place where leaders can align on the architectures, standards, solutions, and partnerships that turn ambition into outcomes. Over two days, we’ll focus on practical solutions and real-world use that cuts costs, accelerates time-to-market, and unlocks new revenue streams. If you want to be part of the transformation, join us in Dallas and help shape the future of connectivity in the Americas.”
