This is a subtle save-the-data announcement and a not so subtle request for assistance. The Fall Blandin Broadband Conference will be held November 18-19, 2009 in Duluth. We’re excited about it.

The Ultra High-Speed Broadband Task Force will have just submitted their recommendations. The first round of the ARRA proposals will have been submitted – but probably not decided. We may be looking at a new round of ARRA applications. Such a whirl of activity sets up a bit of an Alice in the Looking Glass feel, but we’re hoping to promote, support and urge the continued movement forward.

So that’s a sneak preview. We have more to tell – but we can’t go too far until we have a name – that’s where we’re looking for your help. We’d appreciate a minute of your time to take our “name our conference survey”. It’s exactly one question. You can vote on one of our options or if you’re so inspired send us one of your own.

Got any other conference ideas we should consider, post ’em as a comment here. Thanks!
