Dear INCOMPAS Show attendees,
Welcome to New Orleans for The INCOMPAS Show: Spring 2017!
We have an exciting three days lined up, designed to help you expand
your professional network, do business with the industry’s top buyers
and sellers, gain insight into the latest technology trends and updates,
and of course, have fun!
As the competitive communications landscape continues to evolve, The INCOMPAS
Show does just the same. We have a number of exciting activities aimed at providing you
even more access to what is most relevant to you:
• Facilitated meetings with top buyers from the industry’s leading companies
• Deal-making opportunities at every corner, especially in the Deal Center, sponsored
meeting rooms, and on the show floor
• Industry thought leaders providing relevant discussions ranging from revenue
opportunities for fiber based competitive providers to what is happening with
mergers and acquisitions
• Exciting social events offering you the opportunity to connect with
current and potential customers in a fun and relaxed atmosphere
• And more!
Join us on Monday afternoon in The Hub for two can’t-miss sessions: “Regulatory and
Legislative Session for Business,” beginning at 3:00 p.m., and “New Revenue Opportunities
and Strategic Infrastructure Initiatives for Competitive Fiber Providers,” beginning at 4:30
p.m. Then, join us in the Expo Hall at 5:00 p.m. as we officially kick off The INCOMPAS
Show with our French Quarter Fête opening reception, sponsored by Spread Networks,
Sunesys, TSI, and Wave Wholesale.
The INCOMPAS Show then continues with a line-up of thought-provoking sessions
and events on Tuesday and Wednesday, including:
• Industry Keynote Session with Uniti Group President and CEO Kenny Gunderman
• Key Strategies and Emerging Trends for Buyers
• How to be a Part of Granite’s Success Through its Partner Solutions Program
• Business Opportunities in the Federal Universal Service Programs
• Beers with Peers Networking Reception
• Trends in Competition Amid Consolidation
• Small Cells, Big Opportunity: How Local Governments and Providers Can Lead the Way
It all comes to a close at The INCOMPAS Show’s highly anticipated Big Easy Bash
closing party, taking place at Generations Hall, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
It is my hope that your experience at The INCOMPAS Show proves to be a valuable
one. On behalf of INCOMPAS and our Board of Directors, I thank you for your continued
support of INCOMPAS and look forward to these next few days with you.
Sincerely,
Chip Pickering
CEO, INCOMPAS
