Dear UBBA Members and Partners,
As we head into the holiday season and pause to reflect with gratitude during this Thanksgiving week, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to our members, partners, and the broader utility community for making the 2025 UBBA Summit & Plugfest our most successful event yet. The energy, collaboration, and innovation on display were truly inspiring. With record attendance, deeper technical engagement, and more utility-driven demonstrations than ever before, this year’s Summit reinforced the critical role UBBA plays in advancing utility broadband and shaping the future of grid modernization.
The conversations and connections forged in 2025 made one thing clear: utilities are accelerating toward a more resilient, intelligent, and broadband-enabled future, and UBBA is uniquely positioned to lead that transformation.
Looking ahead, we are excited to launch several new initiatives for 2026 that will further support utilities as they adopt next-generation technologies and prepare for the grid of the future. Each of the 2026 efforts will be rooted in UBBA’s mission: to empower utilities with the tools, knowledge, and partnerships they need to build secure, reliable, and future-ready operational systems.
Thank you once again for your engagement, your expertise, and your commitment to this community. Together, we are shaping the next era of utility innovation—and I cannot wait to see what we accomplish in 2026.
At your service,
Bobbi Harris
Executive Director, UBBA
