The Connecting Alaska Consortium is hosting a conference on broadband, an event designed to empower Alaska villages, Tribes, and communities with the knowledge and resources needed to develop and enhance broadband services. Various broadband programs are currently available to Tribes, and more are on the way. The Connecting Alaska Consortium is equipped to help decide which opportunities will work best in each community. Technical breakout sessions will focus on grant opportunities, solution planning, and access. Interactive sessions will help attendees learn how to build and plan the right broadband access for each community. The exhibitor hall will showcase the latest in broadband technology and services.
