Join us for the CBAN Fall Forum!

Attendee Registration

America is in the midst of a once-in-a-generation investment in broadband infrastructure and digital skills-building. Grants are dropping at warp speed. Crews are being hired, digital equity activities are being planned by states. But by the close of 2026, the dollars will be allocated and the work well underway. 

Then what? How do communities use what they've built to create long-term prosperity? Join CBAN for a day of learning and active collaboration as we roll up our sleeves and get down to the business of figuring out what's next. Attendees will participate in small group roundtables throughout the day, each focused on an aspect of broadband-enabled community success. Our keynote and lunch speaker will be recorded and released; we're hoping to capture round table content as well (and open to thoughts on the best way to do that).
