WISPAPALOOZA Opens in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, NV, October 9, 2023 – WISPA – Broadband Without Boundaries officially convened WISPAPALOOZA today in Las Vegas.  The association’s annual Fall event brings over 2000 attendees and exhibitors from the ISP industry to learn the latest trends, see cutting-edge technology, and meet as a single community under one roof for four days.  WISPAPALOOZA is being held at the Paris/Horseshoe hotels from October 9 – 12, 2023.

This year’s show theme is “the right tool for the right job,” reflecting the fact that WISPs have always evolved to meet the needs of their local communities, employing new technologies, business models, partnerships, and doing whatever it takes to get their customers online and satisfied.  This agility has created a “big tent” – a rich and diverse landscape, providing reliable, evolutionary broadband solutions to millions of Americans in rural, under-resourced and Tribal areas of the country.  Far from being one-size-fits-all in approach, they do it all – wireless, fiber, cable, satellite – something truly unique in the ISP industry.

Over the four-day event, attendees will participate in dozens of panels and breakout sessions, hearing from industry experts on new technology, operational and business best practices, and legal and regulatory updates, among other topics. They’ll see a massive exhibit floor, with over 180 vendors showing off their most up-to-date hardware, software and service offerings.  And they’ll hear some prescient keynote presentations, featuring true pioneers and thought leaders in the Internet ecosystem, including George Finney on cybersecurity; Michael Gorton on telemedicine; and Peter Schultz, the co-inventor of optical fiber.

WISPAPALOOZA’s Premier Sponsor is Ubiquiti, who like the other vendors at the conference, shares a single-minded mission to help WISPs scale. Their innovative work has enabled WISPs to quickly, cost-effectively and reliably serve millions of Americans who were once left behind in the digital divide. WISPAPALOOZA tells the story of this incredible partnership, which has made America better, safer and more equitable.
