The broadband industry is entering a new operating environment. As the BEAD era winds down, operators must adapt to changing economics, increased competition, critical infrastructure requirements, and the rising influence of AI compute and power demand.

This year’s conference brings together ISPs, hyperscalers, data center operators, utilities, investors, and policymakers to address this transition through four focused tracks:

• ISP Economics & Sustainability
• Networks, Operations & Compute Infrastructure
• Deployment, Workforce & Execution
• Policy, Security & Critical Infrastructure
  
  

The agenda balances familiar broadband topics with forward-looking perspectives on data centers, grid capacity, quantum security, cybersecurity, and private capital. The result is a program designed for operators, investors, technologists, and policymakers who need clarity on the infrastructure stack that connects connectivity, compute, and power.

Who Attends
ISPs, cable operators, hyperscalers, data center operators, utilities, state broadband offices, federal agencies, PE & infra investors, construction firms, cybersecurity providers, and equipment vendors.
