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.
Energy forum
The energy segment is undergoing significant transformation. Rising electricity demand, the push for net-zero emissions, digitalization, virtualization, and increasing complexity in telecom networks and cybersecurity are driving strategic conversations and investments. At this energy pre-conference user group, we'll explore key industry trends. Notably, some utilities are expanding their business models to offer telecom services to enterprises and consumers. Our guest speakers will share their experiences of launching telecom businesses as utility telco operators, offering valuable insights into this emerging trend.
Transportation & defense forum
The transportation industry is experiencing rapid growth and transformation, driven by digitalization, autonomous operations, and advanced digital infrastructure. As urbanization accelerates, cities worldwide are demanding smarter, more resilient, sustainable, and user-centric transportation solutions. Across the sector, investments in AI, IoT, and automation are yielding significant improvements in operational efficiency, safety, and customer experience. Join us in this transportation & defense user group, where we'll share real-world case studies, valuable lessons learned, and firsthand experiences showcasing how our solutions and innovations are redefining the future of transportation.
Lunch and exhibition
Join us for lunch in the exhibition. Take a break, explore the demos, and recharge for an action-packed afternoon of sessions.
Hands-on IP/MPLS service provisioning with Segment Routing and EVPN
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.

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.
