If you can make it to Vail in early June, you can enjoy more than the summer mountains. The Mountain Connect Rural Broadband Conference is scheduled for June 8, 9, and 10 at the Vail Cascade Resort and Spa.
From the conference website:
This year our conference theme is “Progress through Education” and it’s our hope that, through our conference topics and speakers, we explore lessons learned and alternative ideas to successfully implement rural broadband initiatives. For the first time in our MountainConnect history, we are soliciting voices from around the U.S. to broaden our knowledge base and, in some ways, take us down a path we have yet to travel.
Topics include economic development, fiber and wireless communities, telehealth, education, digital media consumption trends, and legislation.
Speakers include a long list of familiar names from private industry, education, and public policy.
Chris will be moderating a panel on community networks on June 9th at 4 p.m. You can check out the full agenda online to plan your visit.
