What is Beer & Broadband?
It is a virtual discussion series bringing together leaders in the broadband and infrastructure space to share their thoughts.
No egos, no agenda, and no selling.
Our goal is to educate, connect, inspire, and entertain you while enjoying a pint together.
Rules of the Roundtable
To keep the conversation engaging, we just ask that you follow a few simple rules:
No Selling
This is a time to relax and connect with others in the industry, not for sales pitches.
BYOB
Have a beer, cocktail, or whatever else wets your whistle.
Be Open & Honest
Don't be afraid to share your thoughts and ideas. This helps to keep the conversation flowing.
Be Transparent
Tell us how it really is. Everyone is here to connect and engage, not judge.
