Why Exhibit or Sponsor

For Exhibitors

Showcase your technology to the people who buy and operate networks. The Expo Hall is open throughout Tuesday with high-traffic breaks, a networking luncheon, an associates cocktail hour, and dedicated exhibitor set-up and tear-down windows. Present your deployment, operations, security, and customer-experience solutions to providers actively seeking partners.

For Sponsors

Align your brand with industry leadership and policy conversations. Sponsor visibility opportunities include receptions, the networking luncheon, session sponsorships, scholarship silent auction, Cal Karaoke, and more. Sponsorship places your company at the center of sessions on resiliency, rural impact, and policy updates — positioning you as a trusted partner for long-term infrastructure investment.

For Vendors & Solution Providers

Engage directly with operations, technology, and management teams in technical breakout sessions and roundtables. Demonstrate how your offerings help providers improve deployment, redundancy, backup power, customer trust during disruptions, and overall network reliability. Wednesday leadership sessions and the keynote offer additional thought-leadership platforms.
