Broadband Nation Expo 2024 Post Event Summary

Broadband Nation Expo, held from October 9-11, 2024, brought together service providers, industry partners, and a diverse range of stakeholders, including academic institutions and leaders from local, state, and federal governments. The event served as a dynamic platform to shape the future of broadband in the U.S., focusing on the critical collaboration needed to close the digital divide and deliver high-speed internet to every home in America. This year’s expo saw remarkable growth, with over 850 attendees, including 71 state and federal officials—a 30% year-over-year increase.

Uniting industry with government to bring broadband to every home in America. 

Access. Affordability. Funding. 

The funding is here. Now that we've entered the bidding phase of BEAD, state broadband offices are starting to ask pre-qualification questions of ISP's, and are hoping for huge engagement. We know that most large operators will be participating, but how can we ensure rural ISP's don't get left behind?  How are states that are ahead of the curve building out their pre-qualification process? When are fixed wireless and satellite appropriate for funding versus fiber broadband? And how can industry and government work together to build the appropriate workforce?

Join us at Broadband Nation Expo (formerly U.S. Broadband Summit), as we aim to connect industry with government to close the digital divide and bring internet to every home in America.
