Keeping broadband networks operational has never been more important.

The Oregon Broadband Association’s 2027 Network Operations Seminar brings together the professionals responsible for designing, operating, securing, and maintaining Oregon’s broadband networks. Formerly known as the CO-IT Seminar, this event offers a focused educational experience for network operations, central office, IT, engineering, and technical staff.

Participants will explore timely topics such as cloud switching, cybersecurity, network monitoring, broadband technologies, rural provider technology trends, NOC and central office maintenance, network tining, and participate in roundtable discussion on future-proofing strategies when it comes to maintaining organizational knowledge after longtime and tenured staff leave or retire! Alongside technical education, attendees will have opportunities to exchange ideas, learn from industry experts, and connect with peers facing many of the same operational challenges.

Whether you’re troubleshooting today’s network demands or planning for tomorrow’s innovations, the Network Operations Seminar delivers practical knowledge you can take back to the office.

Just as important, this seminar is all about connecting! It’s a chance to compare notes with fellow techs, ask questions face to face, and learn from industry expert solutions vendors who understand the challenges you’re tackling every day. The hallway conversations, side discussions, and peer insights are often where the biggest takeaways happen. Come ready to learn, share, and leave with ideas you can put to work immediately!
