Explore Latin America’s unique opportunities and challenges with operators and partners who are making it work at scale.
Build the foundation for a successful fiber business. Learn the steps, tools, and partnerships that turn ideas into operational networks.
Turn great networks into beloved brands. Measure what matters, win locally, and keep customers for life.
A clear, practical introduction to how modern AI systems work and why connectivity infrastructure, and particularly fiber, is becoming increasingly critical to the AI economy.
Start strong with the Welcome to Fiber Connect and the State of the Association. Celebrate the Chairwoman’s Award, then hear Operator Light Talks that frame real lessons from the field alongside panels that explore connecting the Americas. Unearth lessons learned from early gig providers and building smart communities. Close with Fiber Family Feud prelims.
A closed-door forum designed to align strategy, investment, and policy as our industry works to close the Digital Opportunity Gap for all Americans. Expect candid dialogue, market insight, and senior-level networking.
As streaming, gaming, and immersive entertainment evolve, performance demands intensify. This session examines capacity, latency, and in-home experience challenges for multi-stream households, creators, and power users, and what networks must deliver as AR and VR become mainstream.
Low-latency fiber unlocks real-time data, automation, and collaboration across modern farms. This program explores best practices for fiber to the farm and how IoT, edge computing, and data sharing drive higher yields, lower costs, and reduced carbon impact.
Better health outcomes, ability to age in place, and connecting with medical experts outside your communities all become possible when homes and communities are connected with fiber broadband. This program will dive into how fiber broadband delivers the connections to let telehealth and other healthcare programs thrive.
AI, cloud, and autonomous systems demand the performance only fiber can deliver. Explore architectures for in-rack connectivity, resource clustering, and interconnect that cut latency, increase capacity, and reduce power by replacing copper with glass.
From planning through implementation, agencies and industry are aligned on connecting the unconnected. Leaders will discuss how to build durable policy frameworks that serve communities today and for the next twenty years.
Day 2 opens with Chairwoman’s Remarks and a keynote that sets the next phase of growth. Panels dig into faster deployments and managing expansion alongside established footprints. Operator Light Talks keep it practical. Enjoy a live Fiber for Breakfast on stage, then the Fiber Family Feud finals and closing remarks.
The AI and Emerging Tech Infrastructure Summit shows how fiber powers intelligence at scale. Headliner Dr. Michio Kaku delivers the keynote and joins a fireside chat. Sessions cover the Open Compute Project, AI capacity and energy needs, and operator perspectives.
