Date 18-21 May
ITW (International Telecoms Week) is the biggest annual gathering of wholesale telecom carriers, network operators, and infrastructure buyers. For Nokia it's a direct sales and relationship event. It includes panels and private meetings in how the event is planned

Optical networking story will likely be biggest nokia story for that event, sitting directly in front the buyers with thousands of various directors not only from telecom but also datacenters
i found two playlists with someinterviews with ITW participants they wont be directly relevant to nokia now- but since I didnt find anything more relevant it at least shows who are the participants and what they do and talk about (even some "weird" topics like | Turning Data Center Waste Into Local Food Production)
there are some titles about power, datacenters, and fibre there

5g growth https://www.youtube.com/live/H13Y8-EAqCk?si=fWKVurIjhoijFrBm&t=9597
These above events are what nok subreddit could collectively focus on and try to discus, but instead of that we get only "news" headlines hyping how nvidia invested in nokia last year, attempting to buy into telecom. And people asking how relevant is nvidia report to nokia, when we already have nokia report with backlogs and DC hyperscallers reports that mention planned DC spendings for those that are interested in "speed" of AI build out and potential in DC opportunities coming to nokia where nokia has to compete .
