s the competitive communications
industry embarks on a new sea of
opportunities in diverse areas like
virtualization, over-the-top (OTT) models and
fiber—while deepening its commitment to tradi-
tional service areas—this year’s show promises
more opportunities for learning, conversations
and insights than ever before.
“What I am most excited about is the
diversity of our education lineup,” said Chip
Pickering, CEO of INCOMPAS. “On Monday
afternoon, just before the our French Quarter
Fete Opening Party, the INCOMPAS Policy
team hosted a workshop to update our show
attendees about things happening in the policy
arena that may impact their business
decisions. Additionally, we have two
other sessions that target opportunities
presented by federal programs, like USF,
and what we see coming in the way of
fiber and infrastructure opportunities.”
This morning, the show kicks off with
a keynote address by Kenny Gunderman
from the Uniti Group, at 9:30 a.m.
Then, there will be sessions going on
throughout the day offered by show
participants. Attendees can check out the
schedule on page 8 or in the mobile app
for timing of all sessions.
