WISPAmerica 2018 Show Guide 2018

4 WISPA merica 2018 SHOW I MARCH 6 - 8, 2018 Dear Friend, Allow me to be among the first to welcome you to Birmingham and WISPAMERICA 2018. As you well know, the WISP industry is constantly evolving. With new technology, new services to offer, and yes, new rules to follow, WISPA conferences have never been more important for growing your business. WISPA proudly leads the way in providing the guidance necessary to navigate the maze of possibilities we each face in our chosen profession. We do this, in part, by bringing together the best and brightest minds in the Wireless Internet Service Provider Industry and beyond. Previously touted as WISPA’s “technical conference,” WISPAMERICA too has evolved and now boasts 50 breakout sessions covering every aspect of your business; plus, collocated training opportunities that take place immediately before and after the conference. Chuck McCown’s famous Animal Farm is now a full track at the show, and thanks to their dedication, the Agenda Committee has put together a great lineup of valuable sessions and knowledgeable speakers. As a WISPAMERICA attendee, sponsor, exhibitor or speaker, you are not only the reason for this show’s success, but you’re also an integral part of what fuels WISPA’s year-round initiatives – and I sincerely thank you. It is my hope, and in fact, my mission that you benefit greatly by being here. I also would like to thank our 800-plus members – and growing. It’s because of you, and through you, that our voices are heard loud and clear in Washington D.C. And finally, I wish to thank the members of the Agenda Committee for their dedication these past months, and WISPA’s Director of Operations, Trina Coffey and her staff, who work tirelessly year-round to put on great shows. 2018 is shaping up to become a momentous year for our industry, and through the generosity of supporters such as Cambium Networks and others, the fruits of our legislative and regulatory efforts have never looked more promising. Remember, we’re here to learn from each other and maybe even make a few friends. If we haven’t met, please introduce yourself as I look forward to meeting you. Once again, I’m very pleased that you’re here to experience and be a part of WISPAMERICA 2018. Enjoy the show! Chuck Hogg, President & Chairman of the Board, WISPA Welcome to WISPAMERICA 2018 Mr. Chuck Hogg MER C 2018
