Telecom Executive Forum 2026

The Telecom Executive Forum (TEF) is an annual event exclusively for rural broadband executives seeking to strengthen their knowledge and influence in the industry. TEF provides a private forum for sharing best practices, exploring emerging trends, and preparing their organization to thrive in a dynamic industry. The agenda focuses on the unique challenges executives face: overseeing operations, expanding business lines, advancing policy priorities, and leadership. Attendees will gain insights from NTCA staff and industry leaders on legislative developments, funding strategies, and trend forecasts. From veteran executives to rising leaders and those mentoring future talent, everyone will leave with valuable takeaways. Your TEF registration also unlocks access to the complimentary Executive Retirement Readiness Seminar (RRS), an exclusive opportunity to gain expert guidance and actionable steps toward a confident, financially fit retirement. This intimate, closed-door meeting is exclusively for executives and rising leadership to discuss industry news, advocacy priorities, and what is on the horizon for the industry.
