Kentucky Connectivity Conference 2026

Two days built for the people, keeping Kentucky connected.

The Kentucky Connectivity Conference brings together ISPs, engineers, field techs, and industry partners for two days of practical learning, real conversations, and the kind of networking that actually pays off back at the office.

Whether you run the company, run the network, or run the truck rolls, you'll find sessions, vendors, and peers worth your time. Expect honest talk about what's working in the field, hands-on insight from the vendors building the gear you rely on, and plenty of room to swap notes with operators facing the same challenges you are.

What to expect:

• Sessions led by industry experts covering the technical and business sides of running an ISP
• A vendor floor featuring leading names in fiber, fixed wireless, power, billing, and support
• Speed networking, vendor spotlights, and structured opportunities to make real connections
• A relaxed setting at one of Lexington's best conference venues

If you're in the ISP business in Kentucky — or serve operators who are — this is the room you want to be in.

Ryan has built a national audience by communicating storms in a way people actually understand, a skill every ISP needs when towers go down, fiber gets cut, and customers want answers now. We'll talk about weather, communication, building an audience, and what operators on the ground can learn from how he covers severe events. Q&A to follow.

Info: Why it's always Wi-Fi, how to set customer expectations, and the tools and processes that cut down repeat tickets.
