Broadband Conference Registration Now Open

Registration is now open for the 8th Annual Municipal Broadband Conference! The event is March 13 & 14, 2019 at the Holiday Inn and Suites, 4800 Merle Hay Road in Des Moines - the same location as last year.

The conference is presented by the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities. Again this year, Power & Tel is the Presenting Sponsor of the gathering.

The Conference is filled with educational workshop sessions and networking opportunities for communities that are operating their own broadband networks.

​A highlight of the conference is the Vendor Show and Reception, featuring companies that provide vital products, services, and support to broadband operators.
