We are pleased to invite you to the 53rd annual NECTA Convention taking place on November 12th-14th at the Newport Marriott Hotel and Spa.

Education and networking are the hallmarks of our Convention, and this year will promise the same with a more interactive and conversational experience. This year’s Convention theme: Access. Opportunity. Engagement. encapsulates the changing policy environments at the state and federal levels and reflects the significant innovative developments and investments that are happening throughout our members’ broadband networks and customers' entertainment experiences. The NECTA Convention brings together state and federal officials, sports figures, industry experts, leading television personalities, journalists, and technologists to showcase the cutting-edge technologies of tomorrow and the public policies that support them.

This year’s keynote and round table discussions will include:

• Connecting America: How historic federal funding for broadband infrastructure, adoption programs, and digital skills training can provide nearly universal digital equity and access.
• Beyond the Build: From farms to cities, how investments in 10G broadband networks drive innovation throughout New England.
• Who’s on First?: How the New England professional sports landscape is dynamically changing on the field and in our living rooms. 
• Go Local: Solving the challenges of the digital divide at the community level.
