Be Your Own Hero
I love our industry. Seriously, I really do. It is truly one of the most exciting connections to HTE (high-tech everything). Sure, the nitty gritty details of network design, engineering, planning, and construction, can be frustrating. But without those critical functions, nothing high-tech — literally nothing — would work.
What you do creates the backbone of, and is the future of, HTE.
That’s why we created ISE TECHForum 2019. We understand you’re overwhelmed with the network’s urgent needs of today and, at times, its future demands seem difficult to prioritize. But, unfortunately, the future will not wait. It’s here. 5G is in its nascence, and all the cool IoT, VR, AR, and other applications, are following tout de suite. That’s why we all need to understand the big picture behind the details of our daily projects.
Since 2012, our team has been working with service providers creating one-day custom educational events to help their teams learn about the future of the network. AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink, Frontier, and Windstream, have all benefitted from these custom one-day educational events. This year, we decided it was time to share this successful model with all of our readers.
ISE TECHForum 2019 is YOUR one-day educational event. There, you’ll learn the most relevant Whats, Hows, and Whys, about the wireline and wireless networks of the future. In addition, you’ll get energized by networking and problem-solving with your peers across the industry.
Armed with this potent information, the infamous WIFM (or What’s In It For Me?) is more than clear: it’s knowledge. And we all know that knowledge translates into power. When you understand what’s happening across the network, why it’s important, and how it affects the entire broadband ecosystem and the customer, YOU are the one holding the power.
Join us on April 11th, 2019 at the Westin Chicago Northwest, Itasca, Illinois, to learn from industry leaders, including the President of 5G Americas, Chris Pearson. Go to www.isetechforum.com for more details and to register. One day of stellar education, valuable industry knowledge, and connecting with industry partners and peers — you don’t want to miss this event. I promise it’ll be worth the investment in YOU.
See you there!
