Introducing the Proactive ISP Virtual Summit
We’ve hosted webinars, we’ve published reports, we’ve done our best to bring the ISP community together in many ways over the years. But this one is new.
On May 5–6, 2026, Preseem is proud to present the first-ever Proactive ISP Virtual Summit, a free, two-day event built specifically for the people running regional providers. And this year, we’re zeroing in on the topic reshaping the entire industry: AI in Action.
Why Now? Why AI?
AI isn’t a future consideration for ISPs anymore. It’s already here — in your support queue, your network operations center, your churn data, your vendor roadmaps. The question isn’t whether AI will change how you run your ISP. It’s whether you’ll be ahead of that change or scrambling to catch up. The Proactive ISP Summit was built to help you get ahead of it.
What to Expect
We designed this summit to be high-value and low-lift. No travel, no all-day commitment, just two focused periods of practical, no-hype conversations with the people living this transformation firsthand. Here’s the format:
- 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Eastern each day — just three hours
- Daily keynotes to set the big-picture stage
- Live panels with expert speakers and audience Q&A
- On-demand access — all sessions recorded and available after the event
