The Georgia Broadband Summit, hosted by the Georgia Municipal Association, aims to connect local government leaders and partners to address a variety of broadband needs in their communities. This year’s event will take place as the Georgia Technology Authority prepares to roll out billions in BEAD infrastructure and digital connectivity funding. The Summit will bring city and county officials together with key stakeholders for a day of networking and exploring partnerships for successful, community-driven broadband programs. Hear from GMA's CEO and Executive Director Larry Hanson about why your city should attend this year's Summit:

Join us for three interactive panel discussions and more:

  • Building Successful Partnerships for Broadband
  • What can ISPs do for you?
  • Creating Digital Connectivity for All

Panels will feature local officials who have been a part of successful broadband partnerships to talk about how they made it work, who was involved, where funding came from and other elements of success. The overarching goal of this year's Summit is to allow local leaders, ISPs and other partners to learn from each other's experiences. You won’t want to miss this year’s program - reserve your spot today!
