Knowledge primer | Network Operating Systems (NOS) stream
Nokia’s Network Operating Systems, SR OS and SR Linux, lead the way in model-driven management and automation, but have you been using them to their full potential? This knowledge primer will expose engineers of all experience to programmability and automation of the Network Operating Systems using model-driven interfaces, on and off-box interfaces and associated tools and programming languages.
This session is designed to prepare participants for the afternoon hands-on session.
Knowledge primer | Network Services Platform (NSP) stream
Nokia’s Network Services Platform (NSP) has been managing networks at the centre of the internet and critical infrastructure for years but there is more to it than red/green network management. This primer will focus on using the programmability and automation functions of the NSP to automate configuration, manage path control, provide event driven management and visualize streaming data.
This session is designed to prepare participants for the afternoon hands-on session.
Knowledge primer | Event-Driven Automation (EDA) stream
Nokia’s Event-Driven Automation (EDA) is a modern infrastructure automation platform for the data-center that combines speed with reliability and simplicity. It makes network automation more trustworthy and easier to use, from small edge clouds to the largest AI fabrics. This knowledge primer will focus on the programmability and automation functions of EDA to provide configuration management, telemetry and observability.
This session is designed to prepare participants for the afternoon hands-on session.
Real-time BGP routing security and observability for network oerators
Coming soon.
Inside the shadow army of Android TV botnets
The most active DDoS botnets today are built from millions of compromised Android TV boxes, consumer devices, and other IoT equipment — with a growing number of these devices located inside your networks or your customers' networks. This army of devices forms a shadow infrastructure that remains largely invisible to conventional scanning and monitoring.
In this session, we lift the hood on how attackers gain control over these devices, how they manage and coordinate them at scale, and how they are used not only for massive DDoS attacks, but also for other malicious activities. We will then walk through how Deepfield researchers infiltrate and analyze botnet families, to uncover how they operate and how this intelligence is used in Secure Genome and the Deepfield solution to help you protect your network from attacks and to neutralize infected bots within your access networks.
This workshop is intended for Network Engineers, Security Engineers, and anybody interested to learn how botnets work and are used for launching DDoS attacks or other activities, and what you can do about it.
This is an interactive session. Bring your questions. Bring your war stories.
Hands-on IP/MPLS service provisioning with Segment Routing and EVPN (Option 1)
Develop practical service provisioning skills on the Nokia 7750 SR in this 3.5-hour, expert-guided, hands-on workshop from the Nokia Service Routing Certification (SRC) Program. Through a series of guided lab exercises, participants will configure transport tunnels and services at their own pace, with live support and best-practice guidance from a Nokia expert. Exercises include:
- Segment routing tunnels with traffic engineering constraints
- Segment routing tunnels with secondary paths
- Segment routing fast re-route
- Layer 2 EVPN services (VPWS, ELAN)
- Layer 3 EVPN services
- EVPN multi-homing
This workshop is intended for network engineers or professionals with an IP/MPLS background who want to apply their knowledge in a real-world environment.
Participants must bring a laptop to take part.

SReXperts Hackathon
SReXperts 2026 will bring Nokia’s Network Operating Systems (SR OS & SR Linux), the Network Services Platform (NSP) and the Event Driven Automation (EDA) platform into a combined hands-on automation and programmability learning experience for attendees of all abilities.
Join us for a full day of hands on creativity. The 2026 SReXperts will follow the familiar format of the previous years providing a friendly, hands-on, event with plenty of support, whatever your automation and programmability area of interest.
There will be three morning “primer” sessions, split between three streams: Network Operating Systems (NOS), Network Services Platform (NSP) and Event Driven Automation (EDA). Each primer session is a instructor-led training session and will equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to address a topic of their choosing in the afternoon.
In the afternoon participants from the three streams will come together to tackle practical hands on problems from a range of curated topic areas designed to introduce, enhance or challenge the participant no matter their prior experience.
Benefits
- The role of a Network Engineer is changing. Automation knowledge is becoming a staple skill for success
- Equip yourself and your organisation with the knowledge of how to operate in a model-driven environment
- Get hands-on with the leading technology operating systems and tools with personalised assistance from Nokia professionals
How to register
Registration for the hackathon is available during the event registration. If you have already registered and wish to add this to your personal agenda, simply log back into your registration to amend your selection.
Alternatively, you may also add this to your personal agenda via our event mobile app available for download in August.
