Many of you receive this weekly Broadband Bytes email blast because you have signed up as a CBAN member. And for that, we are very grateful! Others have signed up for our newsletter on our website, and we are also happy to have you part of the conversation! However, if you are not a CBAN member, we hope you will strongly consider becoming one in 2024. Remember, membership is free for broadband providers, communities, and advocates. CLICK HERE to visit the membership page and learn more. Not sure which membership category is the best fit? Drop us an email at [email protected] and we'll help you select!

Our associate members help fuel all of CBAN's activities, so if you are a company that provides products or services in the broadband space and would like to join, we'd be happy to set up a time to provide you with that information!

2024 Events

CBAN is planning two events for 2024 to provide our members with opportunities to learn and network about topics on broadband access, adoption, and affordability.

2024 Spring Summit
The 2024 CBAN Spring Summit will be held April 9, 2024 from 2pm to 5pm at Stoney Creek Hotel in Johnston, Iowa. This is the day before the IAMU Broadband Conference and Expo, so if you're coming to IAMU we encourage you to come a day early. We have an exciting kickoff speaker confirmed that you won't want to miss! Registration information will be posted soon!

2024 Fall Forum
Planning is underway for the 2024 Fall Forum, which will be held during Digital Inclusion Week in early October (final dates still pending). This will be a hybrid event with both online and in-person elements. Keep watching Broadband Bytes for more details!
