🎙️ CPaaSAA Talk with Justin Paul (GSMA) — Why GSMA is Partnering with CASA25

In this CPaaSAA Talk, Rob Kurver speaks with Justin Paul from GSMA Open Gateway about why GSMA is sponsoring CASA25, and the collaborative momentum building around Network APIs, real-world use cases, and industry education.

🔹 Why CASA25?

While GSMA runs large global events like Mobile World Congress, Justin emphasized the importance of participating in focused third-party events like CASA25. Open Gateway’s mission is based on collaboration, and CASA25 offers a unique opportunity to engage a highly curated group of CPaaS innovators, telcos, and ecosystem builders in a more intimate, results-driven environment.

“All boats rise if we can drive real adoption and understanding of network APIs. CASA25 is the perfect place for that.” – Justin Paul

CASA25: Four Half-Days. One Bold Vision.

This year, CASA25 isn’t just another conference—it’s a curated experience built for people who want to go deep, move fast, and leave with real takeaways.

We’ve designed the event around four high-impact half-day blocks, each focused on a critical theme shaping the future of CPaaS. Whether you’re a platform builder, a telco innovator, a go-to-market strategist, or an AI realist, there’s a block that speaks to you.

And alongside the main track, we’re introducing hands-on workshops—led by our Silver and Gold sponsors—designed for those who want to dive deeper, collaborate, and walk away with tools, not just talk.

Here’s how it all comes together:

Day 1 Morning – The Future of CPaaS: From Ethics to Intelligent Engagement

This opening block sets the tone. We explore the State of CPaaS, how AI is really impacting the communications industry, and how ethics, trust, and intelligent orchestration are becoming must-haves—not nice-to-haves.

Expect to leave with: frameworks to future-proof your business, fresh thinking on responsible AI, and a new lens on customer experience.

Day 1 Afternoon – Real-World CX: Messaging, Orchestration & Leadership

We shift gears into practical territory. Messaging is evolving fast. Customer expectations are rising. And the companies that win are the ones that can adapt—not just with tech, but with leadership.

Expect to leave with: use cases that work, insight into evolving CX playbooks, and ideas for leading through industry change.

Day 2 Morning – Go-To-Market Playbooks: Telcos, Channels & Strategy

This block is all about growth. We unpack the playbooks for building scalable go-to-market engines—whether you’re a telco, a platform, or somewhere in between.

Expect to leave with: actionable GTM models, partnership insights, and new ways to align sales, product, and ecosystem.

Day 2 Afternoon – Network APIs & What’s Next

The final block is future-focused. We’ll explore the momentum behind Network APIs, why they matter, and how to turn potential into performance. This session leads directly into our Analyst Summit.

Expect to leave with: clarity on API monetization, upcoming trends, and real stories from the front lines of Open Gateway.

And Then: The Analyst Summit – Powered by GSMA Open Gateway

New this year: a special half-day Analyst Summit (special invite required) hosted with GSMA Open Gateway, focused exclusively on Network APIs. Designed for product leaders, analysts, and platform architects, this session goes deeper into the business models, technical realities, and collaboration required to make Network APIs successful at scale.

No fluff. No filler. Just impact.

CASA25 isn’t about being everywhere at once. It’s about being in the right room, at the right time, with the right people.

And yes—there will be killer dinners, rooftop drinks, and late-night conversations that spark the next big idea.

Because some of the best breakthroughs happen over a cocktail, not a keynote.

Join us. Bring your brain. Leave with momentum.
