Midwest Broadband Operators Conference 2023
With summer finally on the horizon, we’re looking forward to taking a little road trip to Carmel, Indiana for the 2023 Midwest Broadband Operators Conference.
Scheduled for Thursday, May 18th at the Jill Perelman Pavilion at West Park, this one-day conference will bring together regional ISPs and operators from across the Midwest and beyond. At the event, industry experts and government representatives will speak about broadband issues relevant to WISPs, FISPs, and all other network operators.
Carmel is located just north of the state capital of Indianapolis.
Amid the speeches and funding updates, there’ll also be time to meet with vendors—make sure to stop by our table to chat with the Preseem team when you’re there.
