35min	eSIM: From Fraud Risks to Cloud‑Powered Security The eSIM ecosystem has advanced rapidly over the past year, accelerating the digital transformation of the mobile industry. IoT, in particular, benefits from new SGP.32 deployments, enabling innovative use cases and business models. However, as in other sectors, digitalization introduces new fraud scenarios that must be understood and mitigated. Security is no longer just a hygiene factor – it is critical. Beyond robust security, eSIM solutions must deliver exceptional reliability and constant availability to meet growing demands. Together with our partner, we showcase the advantages of a cloud-based eSIM service and its availability in the marketplace.	Philipp Schulte, CEO G+D Mobile Security,  Giesecke+Devrient Jan Hofmeyr, VP Telecommunications, AWS Gordon Mansfield, VP Global Technology Planning, AT&T

20min	eSIM at Scale: Unlocking opportunities & preparing for the next phase As eSIM takes over global connectivity, this keynote will explore how real-world deployments across consumer and IoT markets are unlocking new business models and improving operational efficiencies for connectivity service providers. From seamless cross-border activation to scalable eSIM service, we’ll highlight key considerations for successful & secure deployments and share insights on how eSIM is driving transformation in today’s digital ecosystem.	Benjamin Mazet, On-Demand Connectivity Product Line Manager, Thales
20min	When Roaming Goes Digital: Why eSIM Is Rewriting the Rules for MNOs Roaming is shifting from a wholesale model to a digital marketplace, and eSIM is at the center of that transformation. This session examines how embedded connectivity alters the pricing, distribution, and delivery of roaming services in an always-on, app-based world. With travelers activating local data instantly, the value chain is moving closer to the consumer. The discussion covers how MNOs can adapt by leveraging eSIM platforms for direct engagement, building flexible travel propositions, and rethinking roaming partnerships for digital scale. As eSIM becomes the new standard for global mobility, the question isn’t whether roaming will go digital, but how fast operators can follow.	Gregory Gundelfinger, Founder and CEO, Telna
