Where fiber’s next move takes the stage.

Right on the Expo Hall floor, the Theater delivers fast, focused sessions from the operators, technologists and innovators shaping fiber infrastructure for the Thinking Economy. Step off the floor and into the ideas, then step back out and meet the people behind them.

Why visit the Expo Hall Theater?

Focused and fast: case studies, product launches and practical how-tos, sized to fit between booth visits

Built on real deployments: operators and technology leaders sharing what’s working in the field, with the numbers to back it up

Ask the experts: interactive Q&A in every session

Connect on the spot: meet presenters and peers right after each session, steps from their booths

What’s on stage

FTTH at scale: construction, AI-assisted design, supply chain, and getting more from every build

AI-ready networks: edge infrastructure, latency-sensitive applications, and agentic AI in network operations

Fiber for data centers: long-haul and middle-mile routes, network diversity, and hyperscale readiness

Customer experience: the in-home experience, managed services, and reducing churn

Funding and growth: public and private capital, partnerships, and investment trends

Communities and policy: economic development, community anchors, and the policy updates that affect your build

What’s next: quantum networking, energy and grid applications, and other emerging technologies
