Committee Meetings 

Fiber Connect is elevating the committee experience in 2026. This year, each committee will convene independently at designated times throughout the event, giving members more focused, meaningful opportunities to collaborate, share insights, and shape the direction of FBA’s work. 

Committee meeting schedules will be finalized in the coming months, and full details will be published both on this page and within the official event agenda as they become available. 

All committee meetings are open to any FBA member interested in attending—whether you’re an active contributor, a first-time participant, or simply curious about how our committees help advance the fiber industry.
