The conference agenda for Connected America, scheduled for March 12-13 in Dallas, has been released, along with an impressive lineup of influential keynote panelists.
A keynote panel discussing regional connectivity priorities, and CXO keynote panels that will dive into America’s mobile landscape, and strategies for delivering fiber to underserved locations, will feature experts from Google Fiber, the Fiber Broadband Association, and the National Telecommunications, and Information Administration (NTIA) at this year’s Connected America conference.
Connected America 2024 released a full list of key speakers in the brochure for their upcoming event in Dallas, which is available here.
Keynote panels at this year’s Connected America will feature names like Amanda Toman, the innovation fund director at the NTIA, who will join 5G Americas Vice President Jose Otero, AT&T Network CTO Yigal Elbaz, and Karmen Rajamani, vice president of government affairs at the Wireless Infrastructure Association.
A summary of Rajamani’s experience, who is moderating the CXO Keynote Panel titled ‘The American Mobile Landscape,’ describes her as having “over twenty years of experience working in the wireless industry focusing on legislative and regulatory action, real estate, zoning, and permitting issues with states and municipalities.”
That panel, scheduled March 12, will be followed by one of the event’s many networking opportunities on the exhibition floor, allowing attendees to visit solutions providers, vendors, and “industry-disrupting startups.”
Connected America’s key themes in 2024 include Connected Cities, which explores the challenges of connecting “urban not-spots,” Rural America, which focuses on rural connectivity, Gigabit America, a strategic look at regulatory strategies, and Project Rollout, which addresses the challenges of building fiber and 5G networks across America.
Other themes at the event include Connected Society, Investment Strategies, Connected Industries, and Startup America.
Connected America, considered “the ideal platform for startups engineering the future,” is organized by Total Telecom, which the event’s brochure said are creators of the United Kingdom’s largest connectivity event, an award-winning event titled Connected Britain.
“The Connected America event brings together communications service providers at national, state, and local level alongside the public sector, enterprise verticals and suppliers to discuss the how and why of improving broadband coverage in America,” the brochure for Connected America 2024 stated. “With a broad range of speakers and attendees from across the digital economy, Connected America is the best place to understand the technology, regulation, and investment environment for the rollout of next generation broadband.”
This year’s Connected America event is expected to feature 50 sponsors and exhibitors, 300 speakers, 10 content streams, 100 startups and at least 2,000 attendees, according to numbers cited by show organizers in the Conference America brochure.
