METROCONNECT 29 - 31 January 2018, Miami

THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING METRO CONNECT 2018Dear Delegate,

Thank you so much for your attendance at Metro Connect 2018. We hope that you had successful meetings and networking in Miami.

Over the years, Metro Connect has become the largest event for discussing and strategizing the most important developments in the North American infrastructure industry. This year’s event deep dived into documentation, technologies such as SD-WAN, 5G and the ever demanding needs of the consumer. Metro Connect set the agenda for the infrastructure community and provided an in-depth insight into the challenges and opportunities in 2018.

The Metro Connect team would like to extend a special thanks to all of our speakers who graciously agreed to speak on the programme and deliver their perspective on the industry’s most pressing challenges and opportunities.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the event sponsors and exhibitors who without their support the event would not be possible.

The Metro Connect team look forward to seeing you next year.

Best,

Metro Connect Team

I have had the pleasure of attending every Metro Connect Conference. It’s an annual event that I and many others keenly look forward to. Metro Connect is a truly unique and extraordinary conference in many respects. It has all the ingredients for an ideal conference on telecom infrastructure—one of the hottest corners of the telecom industry. It is one of few conferences that consistency attract leading industry CEOs and other sector thought leaders. The conference panels are extremely informative, timely and populated by the leading industry experts. It’s a can’t-miss conference on telecom Infrastructure.
