The TIA BEAD Success Summit is designed to give key broadband industry stakeholders a chance to share their perspectives on how to drive maximum success for the program with government agency policymakers and administrators, as well as provide education and networking opportunities to prospective awardees and the ecosystem that will support this initiative. Participants will include communications service providers, technology companies as well as federal and state government leaders who will come together to discuss in workshops BEAD program requirements, necessary resources, and latest network architectures and alternatives.<\/p>\n
