Join us on 18 June, from 11:30 AM – 3:00 PM, at Restaurant Goldmund at Literaturhaus Frankfurt for an exclusive Cisco & NTT DATA executive roundtable “Modernize and Secure Your Networks in the Era of AI”.

This focused session brings together senior leaders to explore how AI is reshaping enterprise networks – driving both modernization and intelligent operations, while strengthening cybersecurity. You’ll hear from:
