ISPAMERICA Day Two Delivers Cybersecurity Strategy, AI Insight, and Hands-On Technical Training in Atlanta

ATLANTA, GA, March 3, 2026 – ISPAMERICA’s second day is underway at the Cobb Convention Center, bringing together internet service providers from across the country for a packed agenda of strategy, security, and technical depth. Running through March 5, ISPAMERICA continues to deliver on its promise of putting everything ISPs need under one roof.

The morning’s headline event features leading security expert George Finney and his keynote, “AI is 100% Trust – Zero Trust is the Answer,” from 9:15 am to 10:00 am in the Grand Ballroom: Renaissance.

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, artificial intelligence has introduced new efficiencies—and new vulnerabilities. Finney’s message is clear: AI systems inherently operate on trust, and that makes Zero Trust not just relevant, but essential. Drawing on real-world breach examples and frontline cybersecurity experience, he will outline the principles of Zero Trust, the Zero Trust Design Methodology, and the Zero Trust Maturity Model—and explain how each applies directly to AI environments.

In the afternoon, ISPAMERICA’s commitment to hands-on value continues with the first session of its ten hours of free technical training – Tarana Time: “Helping You Go On The Offensive In 2026,” running from 1:45 pm to 4:15 pm. Included with every conference badge, this in-depth session equips operators with practical tools and forward-looking strategies to stay competitive in a demanding broadband marketplace.

The Exhibit Hall also opens today in Exhibit Hall D, with lunch from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm, followed by a 4:15 pm to 5:15 pm Happy Hour. With leading technology vendors showcasing the latest innovations, the hall offers attendees direct access to solutions that can immediately enhance network performance and service delivery.

Beginning at 1:45 pm, ISPAMERICA’s panel presentations run through 4:15 pm, delivering expert insight on everything from storm-resilient network design and defending the FWA advantage, to unlocking new revenue through managed services, leveraging AI for smarter expansion, capitalizing on emerging technologies and vertical markets, and building a more powerful, data-driven marketing engine for ISPs.

By compressing months of vendor meetings, research, and training into a single high-impact experience, ISPAMERICA delivers measurable return on investment. Full conference, one-day, and flexible attendance options remain available at www.wispaevents.org. For questions, contact showinfo@wispa.org.
