More than 100 participants attended the forum, including Zeng Dehua, Vice President of CAET; Zhang Tao, Vice President of Lanzhou Jiaotong University; heads of network and information centers from the six co-organizing universities; as well as heads of informatics from over 70 universities nationwide, experts and scholars in education, and enterprise representatives. The attending guests focused on the deep integration of "AI Empowerment" and "Communication Networks" to discuss the evolution trends of education intelligent network technology and share experiences in campus intelligent network construction.

In his speech, Zeng Dehua, Vice President of CAET, noted that educational digitalization and intelligence serve as the core engine for high-quality educational development, and communication networks—acting as the "central nervous system" of campus digitalization—make intelligent construction particularly critical. He proposed that the committee in preparation will focus on the deep integration of AI and networking to build a self-architecting and self-healing next-generation education network equipped with intelligent perception, dynamic scheduling, and active defense capabilities; while simultaneously advancing the construction of collaboration platforms, formulation of industry standards, talent cultivation, and cutting-edge technology research. He also introduced that CAET's "AI + Education" Innovative Application Skills Competition has established an Intelligent Network Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Track, open for registration to teachers and students nationwide.
