Fiber Connect 2022 was one of the largest conventions in history. This August it will be in Orlando, Florida at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center and it is expect to be their largest, most successful event ever. Syncworks will be in attendance. This Fiber Connect 2023 Full Schedule is meant to be an easier method to access the agenda only. See the links for the event site with their full details.

This year’s Fiber Connect will offer unique opportunities for business and market development, technology demonstration and peer-group interaction. The event will feature executives from a broad scope of industry sectors — traditional audiences as well as new audiences — commercial network operators, mobile network operators, electric cooperatives, municipalities, digital infrastructure asset owners and developers, investors, technology suppliers, enterprises and more.

The community who attends Fiber Connect 2023 is the primary driver of investment, deployment, and operation of next generation gigabit broadband networks. If your business requires gigabit and fiber connectivity, you should definitely make plans to be in Orlando this August.
