FISPA and WISPA is proud to hold it's first joint conference in Orlando, FL on March 23rd to March 25th. It is a great opportunity to bring the family on a spring break trip and participate in a great conference at the same time. We are currently planning three tracks, packed with information on regulatory issues, operations, marketing and other challenges the Broadband industry faces on a day to day basis.
We invite all FISPA and WISPA members to attend this meeting. Not a member, that's fine, we are offering non-members a reduced rate on their first year membership dues to participate in this conference. Just select the appropriate ticket level. If a Non-Member is bringing more than one participant, only one Non-Member ticket needs to be purchased.
We have received great response from our past tradeshows from vendors and members alike. Many vendors are participating on panels and vendor presentations about new products and services. We also want to recognize the Platinum, Gold and Silver sponsors below. They are covering the majority of the catering costs for this event. Make sure and thank them for their participation.
We have secured Corey Potts of VoIP Innovations, Brian Worthen of Mammoth Network and Dustin Jurman of Rapid Systems as Keynote speakers.
As always one of the most popular events during this conference will be the ISP CEO Roundtable. This will be an opportunity to discuss the challenges of everyday operations of a typical ISP business with your peers. It may be the most worthwhile event of the conference.
Our Industry is dynamic and in a current state of flux. FISPA and WISPA are two trade associations working very hard to improve your business future and insure your success. Schedule your participation for this meeting today, so you can stay up to date with current FISPA and WISPA efforts. We will insure that this will be a great event and well worth your time and money to attend.
