I attended the Rural Telcon a few years ago and thought it was well worth the trip. The conference is at a fun resprt this year (and if you sing up before September 10, your name will be added to a drawing to get a free week at the resprt).

The lineup looks good. There appears to be sessions on specific technologies, fundding opportunities, some success stories, and broadband applications.

My favorite part of the conference (well nearly any conference) is te conversation that happens in and aroudn the various sessions. It’s a chance to talk to others in your boat, or who need your boat, or who have a boat you need.
