Fiber Connect 2027

Fiber Connect is the Fiber Broadband Association's yearly conference and exhibition for the companies that build, fund and run fiber networks. The 2027 edition in Nashville adds a second programme on the infrastructure behind AI and quantum computing alongside its fiber-to-the-home core.

Two programmes

The event is organised as two experiences under one roof.

• The FTTH Experience: network construction, funding, permitting, outside plant, operations, workforce development and customer experience
• The AI & Quantum Infrastructure Experience: AI, hyperscale data centers, neoclouds, edge computing and quantum networking

Programme highlights

Alongside the main tracks, the organizer lists an AI & Quantum Infrastructure Summit on Wednesday 16 June, Operator Light Talks, pre-conference workshops, a C-Suite Forum, a Broadband Investment Forum, an Infrastructure Policy Upload and the OpTIC Path Fiber Optic Technician Rodeo.

Expo

The expo hall hosts more than 300 exhibitors and, new for 2027, a 30,000 sq ft AI & Quantum Infrastructure Pavilion.
