Why should you attend the Summit?

Hear directly from ACA Connects members.

"The Summit provides you direct access to fellow operators who have lived through those headaches and can be a resource to help you. You also have access to several vendors who have listened to the operators and have been working on solutions to help us."

"The Summit is an intimate setting that allows for longer and more meaningful conversations. The insight gained from the sessions allows for a different type of interaction with attendees. Hearing and knowing the legislative items impacting service providers businesses allow for a more insightful strategic approach to meeting with and understanding the issues impacting the growth of our service provider partners."

"The Summit also is a great networking opportunity with other fellow ACA members and vendors that are present. The guest speakers that they invite are some of the best you can get in their respective professions."

"One aspect that separates the Summit from other conventions/meetings I have attended is that the cable-provider members are accessible, friendly, and eager to meet with vendors that can provide proven and cost-effective solutions to their objectives. So often the end users of the services we provide are unavailable or unwilling to sit down with new vendors but this was not the case at the Summit."
