DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) an
 d 5G private networks is redefining the landscape of industrial automation
 . As enterprises look for secure\, resilient\, and high-performance infras
 tructure\, AI-enabled 5G private networks emerge as a foundational technol
 ogy empowering real-time decision-making\, predictive maintenance\, and in
 telligent orchestration at the edge. This session explores how industries 
 such as oil &amp; gas\, manufacturing\, and utilities are leveraging AI and 5G
  to drive operational efficiency\, safety\, and scalability. We will discu
 ss deployment architectures\, transformative use cases\, and lessons from 
 early adopters\, with a focus on the U.S. market’s rapid progress enable
 d by CBRS spectrum and hyperscale ecosystems. Attendees will gain insights
  into how AI and 5G together form the dual engines of Industry 4.0 unlocki
 ng new levels of agility\, intelligence\, and control. Join us to understa
 nd why private networks are no longer a luxury but an industrial necessity
 .\n\nTopics covered:\n\n• What is 5G private network and why 5G?\n\n• 
 Industry 4.0 Transformation Vision for Industry\n\n• Why Industries Need
  AI + 5G Now\n\n• Transformative AI + 5G Use Cases Across Industries\n\n
